PDBe-SIFTS: an open-source tool for Structure Integration with Function, Taxonomy, and Sequences, featuring improved alignment, scoring scheme, and accelerated ... (opens in new tab)

Structure Integration with Function, Taxonomy and Sequences (SIFTS) provides residue-level mappings between UniProt Knowledgebase sequences and Protein Data Bank structures and has historically been generated through internal Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) pipelines. Here, PDBe-SIFTS is presented as a fully open-source, locally deployable implementation of this mapping framework. The pipeline combines fast, scalable sequence search using MMseqs2, an improved bounded scoring scheme for ran...
