One use of Multidomain Assembler is to set up comparative modeling and concatenation of existing structures to generate a full-length model of a multidomain protein. However, even without model-building, the byproduct is also useful: a visual summary of the structures available for a query sequence, optionally filtered by criteria such as BLAST score and % identity, laid out horizontally in approximate N→C order relative to the query. Overlapping hits are stacked vertically, and segments without structural coverage are indicated with spheres. By default, the multiple sequence alignment of the hits to the query is also displayed.

The figure shows the results of command:
    mda p08648 ~/Desktop/MDA limit 4 percent 50
with sequence mismatches in red and molecules other than the hit chains in blue. Text and pointers have been added with 2D Labels.

Multidomain Assembler is described in a paper.

Heterotrimeric G protein (Protein Data Bank entry 1gg2) with the alpha subunit shown in green, the beta subunit in light blue, and the gamma subunit in brown. The Intersurf tool was used to show the interface between the alpha and beta subunits. The interface surface is colored to show the distance between atoms across the interface (red for closer together, blue for farther apart). (More samples...)
