1. Target definition
All tools in the ProteinsPlus server work on a structure of a protein or a nucleic acid.
In the first step, you need to define this structure either by selecting a structure form the
Protein Data Bank (PDB) via its PDB code (e.g. 2ozr) or upload any other structure in PDB format.
Additional ligand molecules can be provided in SDF format.

2. Tool selection
Afterwards you can select the tool you are interested in. You can choose EDIA either by
selecting it from the drop-down menu or by following the link under the respective tool description.

4. Result
EDIA calculates an individual quality score for each atom, which represents how well this
atoms position is supported by the experimental electron density. These scores are encoded in a coloring scheme,
where blue represents a good and red a poor support. All atoms are accordingly colored in the NGL viewer.
“Display electron density” button can be applied for a visual inspection of the electron density at a level of 1σ.
Further information on medium EDIA values for residue and ligand substructures are given in a result table.
All information can be additionally downloaded using the download button.
