One frequently observed mode of such interactions is the \u03b1-helical coiled coil (CC). Thus, an ability to extract, visualize and analyze CC interfaces quickly and without expert guidance would facilitate a wide range of biological research. In 2001, we reported Socket, which locates and characterizes CCs in protein structures based on the knobs-into-holes (KIH) packing between helices in CCs. Since then, studies of natural and de novo designed CCs have boomed, and the number of CCs in the RCSB PDB has increased rapidly. Therefore, we have updated Socket and made it accessible to expert and nonexpert users alike.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The original Socket only classified CCs with up to six helices. Here, we report Socket2, which rectifies this oversight to identify CCs with any number of helices, and KIH interfaces with any of the 20 proteinogenic residues or incorporating nonnatural amino acids. In addition, we have developed a new and easy-to-use web server with additional features. These include the use of NGL Viewer for instantly visualizing CCs, and tabs for viewing the sequence repeats, helix-packing angles and core-packing geometries of CCs identified and calculated by Socket2.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Socket2 has been tested on all modern browsers.
