VAST Search is NCBI's structure-structure similarity search service.
It compares 3D coordinates of a newly determined protein structure to those
in the MMDB/PDB database. VAST Search computes a list of structure neighbors
that you may browse interactively, viewing superpositions and alignments
by molecular graphics. From this page, you can either start a new Vast Search
or retrieve the Vast Search results for previously submitted jobs.
To start a new search, please put your data into a text file using
PDB File format. Enter the file name in
the following line, choose a subset for searching and click the "Submit" button.
The (default) "Medium-redundancy Subset of PDB" is about 1/10 the size of "All
of PDB" and therefore the search will be much faster.
