Orientations of Proteins in Membranes database

[1][2][3][4] Positions of the proteins are calculated using an implicit solvation model of the lipid bilayer.

[5][6] The results of calculations were verified against experimental studies of spatial arrangement of transmembrane and peripheral proteins in membranes.

The site allows visualization of protein structures with membrane boundary planes through Jmol.

[4] The database also does not include lower resolution structures with only main chain atoms provided by the Protein Data Bank.

The calculated spatial arrangements of the lower resolution protein structures in the lipid bilayer can be found in other resources, such as PDBTM.
