Abstract
TMCompare is an alignment and visualization tool for comparison of sequence information for membrane proteins contained in SWISS-PROT entries, with structural information contained in PDB files. The program can be used for: detection of breaks in alpha helical structure of transmembrane regions; examination of differences in coverage between PDB and SWISS-PROT files; examination of annotation differences between PDB files and associated SWISS-PROT files; examination and comparison of assigned PDB alpha helix regions and assigned SWISS-PROT transmembrane regions in linear sequence (one letter code) format; examination of these differences in 3D using the CHIME plugin, allowing; analysis of the alpha and non-alpha content of transmembrane regions. TMCompare is available for use through selection of a query protein via the internet (http://www.membraneproteins.org/TMCompare) tmcompare@membraneproteins.org
