# CPFP
Comparative protein function prediction - a java toolkit to deal with [DSSP](http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/dssp/) data

There are thousands of protein structures in the [Protein Data Bank](http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do). The [DSSP-Server](http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/dssp/) provides secondary structure information about the protein backbone of each chain in the PDB. This algorithm assigns one of the seven structure elements to each amino acid.
These structure elements are:
* H = α-helix
* B = residue in isolated β-bridge
* E = extended strand, participates in β ladder
* G = 3-helix (310 helix)
* I = 5 helix (π-helix)
* T = hydrogen bonded turn
* S = bend

This project aims to access these structure information via a java toolkit.
