STAMP

home    software section

STAMP is a package comprising 15 programs for alignment and analysis of protein three-dimensional structures.

The major features are:

1) Fast alignment and superimposition of two or more protein structures
2) Generation and display superimposed protein 3D structures and sequence alignments
3) Comparison of a protein 3D structure to a database of other 3D structures
4) Direct interface to MOLSCRIPT and ALSCRIPT drawing programs
5) A clear method for assigning which regions within a family of proteins are structurally equivalent, without the need for graphical intervention.

STAMP is available free of charge to non-profit organisations, and to others for a fee. A license must be completed by all prospective users. Users of previous versions of STAMP can obtain the new version with the same license.

The new version (4.0) has corrected several bugs, ontains a much improved manual and includes several new programs, including those for the generation of MOLSCRIPT input, and for the generation of averaged structures.

For further details as to the program and licenses, see ftp geoff.biop.ox.ac.uk README and STAMP.LIC files or contact Geoff Barton via gjb@bioch.ox.ac.uk
