VAST is a computer algorithm developed at NCBI and used to identify similar protein 3-dimensional structures by purely geometric criteria, and to identify distant homologs that cannot be recognized by sequence comparison. Related structures for every structure in MMDB are pre-computed using VAST and accessible via links on the MMDB Structure Summary pages. The VAST Search page also allows you to compare the coordinates of a newly resolved structure in PDB format against all structures in MMDB to find its neighbors. Protein structure neighbors in Entrez are determined by direct comparison of 3-dimensional protein structures with the VAST algorithm. Each of the more than 87,804 domains in MMDB is compared to every other one. From the MMDB Structure summary pages, retrieved via Entrez, structure neighbors are available for protein chains and individual structural domains. If you already know a PDB/MMDB-Id you can try this at once, using the input form in the right column. VAST Search is a service that allows searching for structural neighbors starting with a set of 3D-coordinates specified by the user. This service is meant to be used with newly determined protein structures that are not yet part of MMDB. Structure neighbors for proteins already in MMDB have been pre-computed and can simply be looked up from MMDB''s Structure summary pages!

Debian is Linux distribution composed of free and open source software, developed by community supported Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993.Debian comes with over 59000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in nice format for easy installation on your machine), package manager (APT), and other utilities that make it possible to manage thousands of packages on thousands of computers as easily as installing single application.

Can't find your Tool?
We recommend that you click next to the search bar to check some helpful tips on searches and refine your search firstly. Alternatively, please register your tool with the SciCrunch Registry by adding a little information to a web form, logging in will enable users to create a provisional RRID, but it not required to submit.
Welcome to the NIF Resources search. From here you can search through a compilation of resources used by NIF and see how data is organized within our community.
You are currently on the Community Resources tab looking through categories and sources that NIF has compiled. You can navigate through those categories from here or change to a different tab to execute your search through. Each tab gives a different perspective on data.
If you have an account on NIF then you can log in from here to get additional features in NIF such as Collections, Saved Searches, and managing Resources.
Here is the search term that is being executed, you can type in anything you want to search for. Some tips to help searching:
You can save any searches you perform for quick access to later from here.
We recognized your search term and included synonyms and inferred terms along side your term to help get the data you are looking for.
If you are logged into NIF you can add data records to your collections to create custom spreadsheets across multiple sources of data.

Welcome to the Neuroscience Information Framework Project, designed to serve the biomedical research community. NIF maintains the largest searchable collection of neuroscience data, the largest catalog of biomedical resources, and the largest ontology for neuroscience on the web. We welcome all feedback and suggestions and are actively looking for resource providers to make their resources accessible through NIF. Learn about the tools available to help you share your data and discover a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources.
