What you can do: Find concensus regions among distantly related protein sequences.
Highlights:
  • It produces high-quality alignments for comparative modeling, and identifies the alignment regions reliable for copying from a given template even when target–template sequence identity is as low as 5%.
  • Combining the output from five different alignment methods, the server produces a consensus alignment, with a reliability measure indicated for each position and a prediction of the regions suitable for modeling.
  • Users can upload a target protein sequence and specify a template (PDB code); if no template is given, the server will search for one.
Keywords:
