SPROUTS -- Structural Prediction for Protein Folding Utility System
What you can do:
Use this tool to predict protein structures.
Highlights:
- SPROUTS is a database that provides access to various structural data sets and integrated functionalities not yet available to the community.
- The database allows the user to gain access to a variety of structural analyses at one place and with a strong interaction between them.
- SPROUTS currently combines data pertaining to 429 structures that capture representative folds and results related to the prediction of critical residues expected to belong to the folding nucleus: the MIR (Most Interacting Residues), the description of the structures in terms of modular fragments: the TEF (Tightened End Fragments), and the calculation at each position of the free energy change gradient upon mutation by one of the 19 amino acids.
- All database results can be displayed and downloaded in textual files and Excel spreadsheets and visualized on the protein structure. SPROUTS is a unique resource to access as well as visualize state-of-the-art characteristics of protein folding and analyse the effect of point mutations on protein structure.
