Installation
Preparing the HHM-Database
downloaded from ftp://ftp.tuebingen.mpg.de/pub/protevo/HHsearch/databases/ the archive pdb70_29May10.hhm.tar.gz unzipped to /data/hmm/pdb70/ made a database with cat: cat *.hhm >> pdb70.db and placed the db in an appropriate directory: sudo mv pdb70.db ../pdb70.db
Configure HHSearch-Tools
Changes in /apps/bin/addpsipred: my $psipreddir="/apps/psipred_2.5"; # Put the directory path with the PSIPRED executables my $ncbidir="/apps/blast_old/bin"; # Put the directory path with the BLAST executables my $perl="/apps/bin"; # Put the directory path where reformat.pl is lying my $dummydb="/home/student/tmp"; # Put the name given to the dummy blast directory (or leave this name)
copied /apps/bin/reformat to /apps/bin/reformat.pl

Comparing the Results
HSSP - Some Positives
Getting the entry of PAH from HSSP http://mrs.cmbi.ru.nl/mrs-5/entry?db=hssp&id=2pah&q=phenylalanine%20hydroxylase
HSSP - More Positives
hhsearch is run with a pdb-set. for blast was nr used. nr contains swissprot, refseq, PIR, PRF, PDB and GenBank CDS translations entries. hssp contains only swissprot entries. That's why a mapping of the swissprot-entries and the other databases is necessary. For this purpose we created a java-tool:
