+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.
+
+If you use DSSP, please quote:
