RAPIDO is an algorithm for the 3D alignment of protein structures. In order to align your protein structures:.

  1. Choose the structures either by providing a comma separated list of PDB IDs or by uploading a zipped tarball of you PDB files (use the unix command: tar czvf tarball.tgz <list-of-pdb-files>).
  2. Insert your e-mail address. An email with a confirmation and a link for accessing the results will be sent to this e-mail address.1
  3. Press the submit button

A help page for RAPIDO is available here.

RAPIDO was developed by T.R. Schneider and R. Mosca at the FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology, European Institute of Oncology and EMBL Hamburg.
The development of RAPIDO was supported by a grant from the Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro (AIRC).
