I am looking for a program/server that would determine secondary structure from a pdb file and then output a new pdb file with HELIX/SHEET records. I have a model for which pymol fails to produce correct secondary structure. DSSP and STRIDE identify the secondary structure correctly but I'd need to convert their output myself to either pdb header or pymol script. So I wonder maybe something like that already exists.
If you open the PDB in Chimera and the PDB lacks HELIX/SHEET records, Chimera will use DSSP to compute the secondary structure and if you then save a new PDB file (File->Save PDB) the saved file will have the appropriate HELIX/SHEET records. You can get Chimera from www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera .
