DSSP 4.0
========

This is a rewrite of DSSP, now offering full mmCIF support. The difference
with previous releases of DSSP is that it now writes out an annotated mmCIF
file by default, storing the secondary structure information in the 
_struct_conf category.

The DSSP program was designed by Wolfgang Kabsch and Chris Sander to
standardize secondary structure assignment. DSSP is a database of secondary
structure assignments (and much more) for all protein entries in the Protein
Data Bank (PDB). DSSP is also the program that calculates DSSP entries from
PDB entries. DSSP does not predict secondary structure.

Requirements
------------

The tools are based on [libcif++](https://github.com/PDB-REDO/libcifpp)
and the code is written in modern C++ so you need a compiler capable
of handling C++17 code.

Building
--------

Make sure you install libcif++ first before building.

After that, building should be as easy as typing:

```
./configure
make
make install
```

Usage
-----

See `man mkdssp` for more info.
