DESCRIPTION: DHcL (Domain Hierarchy and closed Loops)is a server for the analysis of basic structural units of a protein. The server calculates domain structures at different levels of energy hierarchy (PDF) and elements of the loop-n-lock structure, closed loops and van derWaals locks (PDF). To learn more about role of the loop-n-lock structure in a domain hierarchy, please refer to the following paper:
Berezovsky, I.N (2003)"Discrete structure of van der Waals domains in globular proteins." Prot. Eng. 16:161-167 [HTML][PDF]
