3D Structure prediction

The topology of transmembrane proteins can be predicted quite accurately from their amino acid sequences. Based on the results of the topology predictions we developed a method, called TMFoldWeb that aid the modeling of transmembrane domain structure. To achieve this, we used the predicted interactions between transmembrane helices and the differences in the folding of transmembrane regions of various transmembrane proteins (this is called „fold recognition”, or „threading”).
