Using the DSSP software locally

If you want to run large sets of DSSP calculations you can install DSSP locally by:

• Building DSSP from source
• Installing the Debian/Ubuntu package (note that this version is a bit older)
• Installing the CCP4 suite that comes with (an older version of) DSSP

Downloading ready-made DSSP annotations

For your convenience we have already run DSSP on the entire Protein Data Bank. All entries are available in mmCIF format and, if they fit, in the legacy DSSP format.

Manually download (single entries) via the website or using wget:

• wget --content-disposition https://pdb-redo.eu/dssp/db/9xyz/mmcif downloads annotated mmCIF file
• wget --content-disposition https://pdb-redo.eu/dssp/db/9xyz/legacy downloads the legacy DSSP file (if available)

Download entire DSSP databank using rsync:

• rsync -av rsync://rsync.pdb-redo.eu/dssp/ dssp/ downloads the entire archive.
