How to use AlphaPred?


The purpose of AlphaPred server is to predict alpha turn residues in a given primary amino acid sequence. It uses multiple alignment and secondary structure information. The turn prediction is done at residue level.

About Submission Form

Input Sequence

The input sequence for prediction is a one-letter code amino acid sequence in fasta or plain text format. The name of protein/query is optional. The sequence can be pasted in the text area provided or can be uploaded through a file in the format (fasta or plain_text) specified in the form.

   

Shown below is the query sequence in fasta format and plain text pasted in the textarea.



   


Output

The AlphaPred server predicts the alpha turns at residue level. The predictions are grouped in blocks of 50 residues. For each block: Row 1 records the amino acid sequence (provided by the user); Row 2 records the secondary structure predicted by PSIPRED (H=Helix, E=strand and C=coil); Row 3 records the alpha-turn/non-turn predicted residues in the given protein sequence. The predicted alpha turn residues are denoted as a and non-turn residues denoted as ..
