<P class="indent20 NormalText">[17 MAY 2021] <B>Batch Process of 3D Structures Using iCn3D.</B>
With the recent release of <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/icn3d">"icn3d" package at npm</a> and <a href="/Structure/icn3d/icn3d.html">iCn3D 3.0</a>, you can write Node.js scripts to call functions in icn3d. These scripts can be run in the command line to process a list of 3D structures to get annotations. For example<a href="https://github.com/ncbi/icn3d/blob/master/icn3dnode/interaction2.js"> this script</a> calculates the change in interactions due to a mutation. The classes and functions are listed at <a href="/Structure/icn3d/icn3d.html#classstructure">iCn3D Doc</a>.
To find icn3d functions, you can first generate a custom view in iCn3D interactively. For example, you can click the menu "Analysis > Mutation" to see the <a href="https://structure.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/icn3d/share.html?MrSHTgeTmEFZj8uy8">"Interactions"</a> of the mutations "6M0J_E_501_Y". Then you can click the menu "File > Share Link" to see the commands in the section "Original URL with commands". Most commands are processed with functions in the file <a href="https://github.com/ncbi/icn3d/blob/master/src/icn3d/selection/applyCommand.js">"applyCommand.js"</a>. Other commands with asynchronized retrieval are processed in the file <a href="https://github.com/ncbi/icn3d/blob/master/src/icn3d/selection/loadScript.js">"loadScript.js"</a>.
Since the JavaScript code of iCn3D was upgraded from ES5 to ES6, the embedding of iCn3D has some <a href="/Structure/icn3d/icn3d.html#HowToUse">changes</a>.

In the "Sequences & Annotations" window, which is accessible in the menu "Analysis > View Sequences & Annotations", users can click the tab "Details" and the checkbox "SNPs" or "ClinVar" to see known sequence variation, if available. The mouseover on SNPs/ClinVar residues with 3D-stucture shows three buttons: "3D with scap", "Interactions", and "PDB", which allow users to alternate between the wild type and mutant structures, alternate between their interactions, or download their coordinates. When users click "Interactions", the 2D interaction network window also pops up to show the change of interactions, which are shown in different colors. The coordinates of the mutant are predicted dynamically with the scap web service, which is converted from the scap program (http://honig.c2b2.columbia.edu/scap). The web service takes the coordinates of the residues within 10 angstrom from the SNP, uses rotamer libraries to predict the side chain conformation, and outputs the coordinates of the mutant and the neighboring residues. Another new feature dynamically computes and displays a selected protein's internal pseudo-symmetry, as in this <a href=https://structure.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/icn3d/share.html?6NvhQ45XrnbuXyGe6> example</a>. The symmetry is calculated with the symd web service, which is converted from the SymD program (https://symd.nci.nih.gov/).

Users can now view the electrostatic potential map for any subset of 3D structures within 30,000 atoms. The potential is calculated using the DelPhi program by solving linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Users can show the potential on surface or show equipotential map. The potential map shows the effect of charges on molecular interactions qualitatively. This <a href="https://structure.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/icn3d/share.html?XCxR6fSTmXHxR3o1A">example</a> shows the electrostatic potential for the binding of Gleevec to Abl2. The ligand shows the -25 mV (red) and +25 mV (blue) equipotential map with a grid size 65, salt concentration 0.15 M, and pH 7. The protein shows the surface potential with a gradient from -75 mV (red) to +75 mV (blue). This new feature can be accessed from the menu "Analysis > DelPhi Potential". Users can also download the PQR file format with assigned partial charges.

<LI>The <B>"Details" tab</B> shows the annotations mapped onto the <B>sequence data</B>. Click on individual residues in the sequence to view their position in the 3D, and mouse over the annotations in the "Sequences and Annotations" window to read more about the individual annotations and/or link to related information in other databases.</LI>
</UL>
<LI><B>3D printing</B> is now available in the "File" menu</LI>
<UL>
<LI>This option exports both Stereolithography (<B>STL</B>) and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (<B>VRML</B>) files for 3D printing.</LI>
</UL>
<LI>A <B>"Search" button</B> is located near the top-right corner of iCn3D, and enables you to enter one-letter <A HREF="http://www.bioinformatics.org/sms2/iupac.html">IUPAC codes</A> for sequence residues, to find them within the sequence data and 3D structure.</LI>
<UL>
<LI>As an <B>example</B>, open the structure for <A HREF="/Structure/icn3d/full.html?mmdbid=1tup&showanno=1&show2d=1&showsets=1 ">1TUP: Tumor Suppressor P53 Complexed With DNA</A> and:</LI>

<LI>Enter <I>R</I> in the "Search" box to find all arginine residues, or</LI>
<LI>Enter <I>RLG</I> to find all regions of sequence that contain an arginine, leucine, and glycine adjacent to each other.</LI>
<LI>The ambiguity code of <I>X</I> can be used to represent any amino acid, so a search for <I>RXLG</I> will find all regions of sequence that contain an arginine, followed by any amino acid, and then followed by leucine and glycine. <!-- {IUPAC ambiguity codes (X for amino acids and N for nucleotides) can also be used. But how does this work? If a user enters "N," will it find all asparagine in the protein sequences as well as all nucleotides in the structure?} --></LI>

<LI><B>Reload</B> the iCn3D page to revert to the original view in all windows (3D, 2D, and 1D).</LI>
</UL>
</UL>
<LI>The "<B>Defined Sets</B>" option in the "Select" menu is a combined version of the previous "Advanced", "Structure", "Chain", "Custom" menus.</LI>
<UL>
<LI>By default, the "Select Sets" window (that appears when you choose the "Select > Defined Sets" menu option) lists each protein and nucleotide molecule in the structure, allowing you to select one or more individual biomolecules. It also provides an option to select all "ions," "nucleotides," or "proteins" in the structure.</LI>
<LI>You can also add custom sets to the "Select Sets" window, if desired. To do this:</LI>
<UL>
<LI>Open the "Details" tab in the "Sequences and Annotations" window, select items of interest (e.g., individual amino acids from a protein molecule)</LI>
<LI>Enter the name and description of the selected data set in the "Selection: Name" and "Description" text boxes.</LI>
<LI>Click the "Save" button</LI>
<LI>The name of the custom set will then appear in the "Select Sets" window.</LI>
<LI>The custom set can also be be used in conjunction with iCn3D options such as "View > View Selection Only," "Style," and "Color," allowing you to isolate the custom set in all iCn3D windows, and/or to render it in the desired style. It can also be saved for future use via the "File > Save Files > State File" menu option.</LI>

<P class="indent20 NormalText">[18 AUG 2009] &#160;The NCBI Inferred Biomolecular Interactions Server (IBIS) server was made public. For a given protein sequence or structure query, IBIS reports physical interactions observed in experimentally-determined structures for this protein. IBIS also infers/predicts interacting partners and binding sites by homology, by inspecting the protein complexes formed by close homologs of a given query. To ensure biological relevance of inferred binding sites, the IBIS algorithm clusters binding sites formed by homologs based on binding site sequence and structure conservation.
