Can anyone comment on the ease of converting the NRL-3D database (amino acid
sequence database of proteins in the Brookhaven Protein Databank) to a format
suitable for GCG programs? Any general advice on how to do the conversion?
The NRL-3D database is available from a University of Houston server
(ftp.bchs.uh.edu), and the files are in PIR format. I am unfamiliar with the
PIR format and am not sure how all of the files should be installed in a
directory on a VMS operating system for use by GCG software. Thanks for any
help.
