How To Install dssp on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dssp on CentOS 8.
What is dssp
The DSSP program standardizes protein secondary structure assignment. DSSP is a database of secondary structure assignments (and much more) for all protein entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). DSSP is also the program that calculates DSSP entries from PDB entries. DSSP does not predict secondary structure. References “A series of PDB related databases for everyday needs.”, Robbie P.
