XtalPred is a web server for prediction of protein crystallizability. The prediction is made by comparing several features of the protein with distributions of these features in TargetDB and combining the results into an overall probability of crystallization. XtalPred provides: (1) a detailed comparison of the protein's features to the corresponding distribution from TargetDB; (2) a summary of protein features and predictions that indicate problems that are likely to be encountered during protein crystallization; (3) prediction of ligands; and (4) (optional) lists of close homologs from complete microbial genomes that are more likely to crystallize.
The XtalPred web server is freely available for academic users on http://ffas.burnham.org/XtalPred
XtalPred是一个用于预测蛋白质结晶能力的网络服务器。该预测通过将蛋白质的几个特征与TargetDB中这些特征的分布进行比较,并将结果合并为结晶的总体概率来进行。XtalPred提供:(1)蛋白质特征与TargetDB中相应分布的详细比较;(2)蛋白质特征和预测的总结,表明蛋白质结晶过程中可能遇到的问题;(3)配体预测;以及(4)(可选)来自更可能结晶的完整微生物基因组的近缘同源物列表。
