### ARB_IMPORT
## DESCRIPTION
### See NOTES in ´Import Foreign Data(bases)´ for HOWTO reactivate disabled import filters. ### The three filters 'dssp_all.ift', 'dssp_2nd_struct.ift' and 'dssp_sequence.ift' import protein secondary structure information and/or amino acid sequences from DSSP files. In addition, some of the associated information is extracted, too. The following fields are created (see also example below): name: [PDB ID]_[Chain char] (extracted from 'HEADER' and the optional chain character in 'RESIDUE') full_name: [PDB ID] (extracted from 'HEADER') Chain [Chain char] (extracted from the optional chain character in 'RESIDUE'); [Description] (extracted from 'HEADER' and 'COMPND') tax: [Organism description] (extracted from 'SOURCE') author: [Author(s)] (extracted from 'AUTHOR') date: [Date] (extracted from 'HEADER') remark: [Remark] (extracted from headline and 'REFERENCE') ali_[alignment name]/data: [Amino acid sequence or secondary structure] (extracted from 'AA' or 'STRUCTURE') sec_struct: [Secondary structure] (extracted from 'STRUCTURE')
## The DSSP code
H = alpha helix B = residue in isolated beta-bridge E = extended strand, participates in beta ladder G = 3-helix (3/10 helix) I = 5-helix (pi helix) T = hydrogen bonded turn S = bend
## NOTES
If a protein consists of several chains these are extracted individually and stored as different species. The filter 'dssp_2nd_struct.ift' fills 'ali_[alignment name]/data' with the protein secondary structure and 'dssp_sequence.ift' as well as 'dssp_all.ift' fill it with the amino acid sequence. The field 'sec_struct' is only used by the filter 'dssp_all.ift'. Gaps-characters ('-') are inserted where no secondary structure is present. The DSSP files are first piped through the script 'format_dssp.pl' (in "$ARBHOME/ARB/PERL_SCRIPTS/ARBTOOLS/IFTHELP") to format the files for use with the filters 'dssp_all2.ift2', 'dssp_2nd_struct2.ift2' and 'dssp_sequence2.ift2'. Reference to DSSP can be found in ´Protein Alignments´ in section 'REFERENCES' [2].
## EXAMPLES
### The DSSP format looks like this:
