Welcome to the LabelHash server! It runs the LabelHash algorithm as described in our CSB 2008 paper. Given a point-based motif, it will compute all matches in a non-redundant version of the PDB. The points in this case are the C-alpha coordinates of a number of residues. It is possible to specify alternate residue labels for each motif point.
Fill out the form below to specify a motif. If you click submit, your job will be submitted to a queue. You will receive an email message once your job starts. Once your job is finished, you will receive another email message with a file of matches attached. You can visualize the file with matches using our ViewMatch plugin for Chimera. You can also look at them as plain text using the command:xmllint -format mymatches.xml | less
Xmllint is part of the libxml2 package and is often already installed on UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux and OS X. If you would like to run LabelHash on your own machines, download the command line version of LabelHash.
