Description: This method is based on a neuronal network which was trained on high resolution X-ray structures from PDB. Disordered regions are regions, which appears in the sequence record, but their electrons are missing from electronic density map. This approach can also failed, because missing electrons can also arise because of the cristallization process. The method runs first a PsiBlast search against a filtered sequence database. Next, a profile for each residue is calculated and classified by using the trained neuronal network.
Prediction: As a prediction result you get a file with the predicted disordered region, the precision and recall. Furthermore you can a more detailed output. There you see the sequence, and the predictions and also numbers above the sequence (from 0 to 9 which shows you how likly your prediction is)
Input: If you run disopred on the console, you have to define the location of your database. The program needs as input your sequence in a file with fasta format.

Secondary Structure Prediction
Prediction of disordered regions
- Disopred
Disopred predicts two disordered regions in our protein. The first region is at the beginning of the protein (first two residues) and the second region is at the end (last three regions). This prediction is probably wrong, because it is normal, that the electrons from the first and the last amino acids lack in the electron density map. So, our protein Hexosamidase A has no disordered regions.
