This web application visualizes protein glycosylation sites, disulfide bonds, sequon sites, and cysteine sites to illustrate patterns in their arrangement in relation to the protein topology.
-
Search for a human protein to visualize from the Uniprot database or select one of several example proteins to visualize from the drop down menu located above this card.
-
If the current scale of the visualization is not sufficient to identify patterns, a sliding scale is provided on the top right of the app bar to horizontally expand the protein.
-
In addition to the sliding scale, there is a window feature for each protein that allows users to target a specific region for visualization. This feature is located below the original visualization.
-
The legend moves with the page as the user scrolls, keeping the information always within reach. Additionally, the legend and each protein feature can be toggled to enhance viewability.
-
An export image feature is provided, allowing users to capture publication-quality snapshots of the protein and the window.
