چکیده

SUMMARY We present a web server that computes alignments of protein secondary structures. The server supports both performing pairwise alignments and searching a secondary structure against a library of domain folds. It can calculate global and local secondary structure element alignments. A combination of local and global alignment steps can be used to search for domains inside the query sequence or help in the discrimination of novel folds. Both the SCOP and PDB fold libraries, clustered at 95 and 40% sequence identity, are available for alignment. AVAILABILITY The web server interface is freely accessible to academic users at http://protein.cribi.unipd.it/ssea/. The executable version and benchmarking data are available from the same web page.

SSEP-Domain: protein domain prediction by alignment of secondary structure elements and profiles

MOTIVATION The prediction of protein domains is a crucial task for functional classification, homology-based structure prediction and structural genomics. In this paper, we present the SSEP-Domain protein domain prediction approach, which is based on the application of secondary structure element alignment (SSEA) and profile-profile alignment (PPA) in combination with InterPro pattern searches....

In Silico and in Vitroinvestigations on cry4aand cry11atoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis var Israelensis

In the present study we attempted to correlate the structure and function of the cry11a (72 kDa) and cry4a (135 kDa) proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis. Homology modeling and secondary structure predictions were done to locate most probable regions for finding helices or strands in these proteins. The JPRED (JPRED consensus secondary structure prediction server) secondary struct...

ESPript/ENDscript: extracting and rendering sequence and 3D information from atomic structures of proteins

The fortran program ESPript was created in 1993, to display on a PostScript figure multiple sequence alignments adorned with secondary structure elements. A web server was made available in 1999 and ESPript has been linked to three major web tools: ProDom which identifies protein domains, PredictProtein which predicts secondary structure elements and NPS@ which runs sequence alignment programs....

JPred: a consensus secondary structure prediction server

UNLABELLED An interactive protein secondary structure prediction Internet server is presented. The server allows a single sequence or multiple alignment to be submitted, and returns predictions from six secondary structure prediction algorithms that exploit evolutionary information from multiple sequences. A consensus prediction is also returned which improves the average Q3 accuracy of predict...
