Your First Structure

This tutorial walks you through generating your first protein structure with synth-pdb.

Step 1: Choose Your Sequence

You can specify a sequence in two ways:

1. Random length: --length 20
2. Specific sequence: --sequence "ALA-GLY-SER-LEU-VAL"

Step 2: Choose Conformation

• alpha - Alpha helix
• beta - Beta sheet
• random - Random coil
• polyproline - Polyproline II helix

Step 3: Generate

synth-pdb --length 20 --conformation alpha --output my_structure.pdb

Step 4: Visualize

synth-pdb --length 20 --conformation alpha --visualize
