Constituent amino-acids can be analyzed to predict secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structure. This list of protein structure prediction software summarizes notable used software tools in protein structure prediction, including homology modeling, protein threading, ab initio methods, secondary structure prediction, and transmembrane helix and signal peptide prediction.
RaptorX is the successor to the RAPTOR protein structure prediction system. RAPTOR was designed and developed by Dr. Jinbo Xu and Dr. Ming Li at the University of Waterloo. RaptorX was designed and developed by a research group led by Prof. Jinbo Xu at the Toyota Technological Institute branch at Chicago.
The protein structure prediction remains an extremely difficult and unresolved undertaking. The two main problems are the calculation of protein free energy and finding the global minimum of this energy. A protein structure prediction method must explore the space of possible protein structures which is astronomically large.
Modeller, often stylized as MODELLER, is a computer program used for homology modeling to produce models of protein tertiary structures and quaternary structures (rarer). [2] [3] It implements a method inspired by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins (protein NMR), termed satisfaction of spatial restraints, by which a set of geometrical criteria are used to create a probability ...
De novo protein structure prediction methods attempt to predict tertiary structures from sequences based on general principles that govern protein folding energetics and/or statistical tendencies of conformational features that native structures acquire, without the use of explicit templates. Research into de novo structure prediction has been ...
PredictProtein (PP) is an automatic service that searches up-to-date public sequence databases, creates alignments, and predicts aspects of protein structure and function. Users send a protein sequence and receive a single file with results from database comparisons and prediction methods.
The Swiss-model Workspace integrates programs and databases required for protein structure prediction and modelling in a web-based workspace. Depending on the complexity of the modelling task, different modes of use can be applied, in which the user has different levels of control over individual modelling steps: automated mode, alignment mode, and project mode.
I-TASSER is a template-based method for protein structure and function prediction. [1] The pipeline consists of six consecutive steps: 1, Secondary structure prediction by PSSpred; 2, Template detection by LOMETS [6] 3, Fragment structure assembly using replica-exchange Monte Carlo simulation [7]
