WHAT IF is a computer program used in a wide variety of 'in silico macromolecular structure research fields such as:

  • homology models of protein tertiary structures as well as quaternary structures;
  • validation of protein structures, noticeably those deposited in the PDB;
  • correction of protein structures;
  • visualisation of macromolecules and their interaction partners (lipids, drug]]s, ions, water); and
  • interactive manipulation of macromolecules

Its best known use has been the detection of many millions (often small, but sometimes catastrophic) errors in PDB files.
