SMALPH
SMALPH is a software tool designed for the analysis and visualization of protein structures, particularly focusing on the study of protein-ligand interactions. Developed by the Structural Bioinformatics Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine, SMALPH stands for "Structural Molecular Alignment and Ligand Prediction Hub."
The primary function of SMALPH is to align protein structures and predict ligand binding sites. It utilizes
SMALPH's alignment capabilities include both global and local structural alignment methods. The global alignment method compares
The tool also includes visualization features, enabling users to view and interact with protein structures and
SMALPH is open-source and freely available, making it accessible to researchers and scientists worldwide. It is
Overall, SMALPH is a valuable resource for researchers studying protein structures and ligand interactions, providing a
