Under construction


In contrast to the vast amount of known protein sequences, information about structure and function is available for only very few proteins. Sequence-based predictions of protein features aim to decrease this gap. Many sequence-based preditiction methods use evolutionary information, i.e. sequence similiarity. Sequence alignments are therefore often a prerequisite for the predictions.
