Many protein domains are made of repeating units of similar structures arranged in a beautifully symmetric manner. The mechanism of such an arrangement, the biological function and the evolutionary history of symmetric proteins are largely unknown.
To answer these questions, we first developed a program, called Symmetry Detection (SymD), to detect internally symmetric protein structures.
Here, we report on the development of the SymD web server, a dynamic platform based on Galaxy to determine if a protein is symmetric and to visualize the structure interactively.
