The Structure Modules of BioJava

A tutorial for the structure modules of BioJava

About

The protein structure modules of BioJava provide an API that allows to
  • Maintain local installations of PDB
  • Load structures and manipulate them
  • Perform standard analysis such as sequence and structure alignments
  • Visualize structures
This tutorial provides an overview of the most important functionalities.
