Find best ellipsoid to cover protein


Introduction

Determines the best ellipsoid to describe a protein

Methods

This server draws an ellips that describes the protein you enter. I am not sure whether thsi is really `the best` ellipsoid. What WHAT IF calculates are the eigenvalues of the atomic constallation. When I draw the ellipsoid in 3D I normally observe some residues that stick out of the ellips and roughly equally many spots where the ellisoid surface is outside the protein surface. I am reasonably certain that the lengths of three ellipsoid vectors (the three egenvectors EV) represent well the radii of gyration in the three directions.
