Storage of PDBs in relation to the Domchop Mindmap #4

Hi all, I had the impression that whenever you open a new Domchop page it may take 10-20s to load the content, which could possibly slow down the process of reviewing interesting cases.

Say you got a new structure bbbbA, and you remember it looks similar to aaaaA. What you would do is probably:

  1. stick that code into Domchop,
  2. wait for the page.
  3. click on "Rasmol" andwait for the magic.

This all could have be sped up if you have cached the annotated structure of aaaaA earlier into a PDB file. In the latter case, you just need to:

  1. Go to the cache folder
  2. Open the corresponding file. And these does not involve inquire the CATH database and became much quicker. It would also be useful to accumulate a repertoire of structures that can be useful for testing in the future.
