Drag'n Drop

Dragging proteins and alignments into STRAP

Loading proteins and alignments is very simple. They can be dragged from the desktop or from Bioinformatics web-pages to the STRAP-application. Vice Versa, protein labels can be dragged from STRAP to other targets such as the desktop or file directories. During Drag-and-Drop the mouse arrow will change, indicating, that the Drag-and-Drop operation is currently performed. In addition, a status message appears at the bottom of STRAP.

Dragging requires some skill. Users of the Opera Web browser should first drag up and then sidewards.

PDB-structures can be dragged directly into a 3D-Backbone view such that the protein will be displayed together with the proteins already present in the 3D-view.

PDB-files that contain only hetero structures or DNA/RNA nucleotide structures can be dragged onto a protein label to associate the hetero compound with the peptide chain.

As an example go to Zinc finger proteins in NCBI and drag the entries directly into STRAP. See Overview of all supported Web-resources.

In case a dragged link is not recognized,
please contact the maintainer of that web page
and send a mail to christoph.gille ( a ) charite.de Also see Movie loading proteins (2.2 MByte) and D&D-tutorial in menu tutorials.

Dragging Protein Icons

Image files (jpg, png, gif and bmp) can be dragged onto protein labels or onto residue annotations in STRAP. To test this feature, open either Web sources for icons:

Also try to drag one image onto several selected proteins.

Limitations: Images in web pages can only be dragged if the images do not serve as a hyper-link.

Dragging text selections

      
protein1 HELLO-WORLD
protein2 -ALLO-WORSE

protein1 THIS-IS-AN-
protein2 ALIG--NMENT

Select the protein texts and drag them to STRAP.

Single fasta format
>protein THIS-IS-FASTA-FORMAT

Multiple fasta format
>sequence1 THIS-IS-FASTA-FORMAT >sequence2 ANOTHER-FASTA-F--M-T

Same amount of left space in all lines. When you select the text please pay attention to mark the first line completely, including the leading space of the first line.
>seq1 THIS-IS-FASTA-FORMAT >seq2 ANOTHER-FASTA-F--M-T
