that determine differences in functional specificity of homologous proteins

Help

Many protein families contain homologous proteins that have a common biological function but different specificity. Given a multiple sequence alignment of a family divided into specificity groups, SDPpred predicts a set of alignment positions (SDP, Specificity-Determining Positions) that determine differences in the functional specificity. More information about what we mean by this and about SDPpred in general you can find here.

The server implements the algorithm described in:

Kalinina OV, Mironov AA, Gelfand MS, Rakhmaninova AB. (2004) Automated selection of positions determining functional specificity of proteins by comparative analysis of orthologous groups in protein families. Protein Sci 13(2): 443-56. (PubMed)

A detailed description of the algorithm you can find here.

We plan to to implement also the algorithm that predicts specificity for those members of the family, whose specificity is unknown.

Version 1.0

This is the first release of the program. If you observe a bug or suspicious behavior, or get a nonsense result, please send us a note, containing the query alignment and the parameters you've used. Thank you.
