DiANNA -- unified software for Cysteine state, Disulfide Bond partner prediction and ternary cysteine classification

What you can do:
Predict the disulfide bond topology and partner in a protein based on its sequence.
Highlights:
  • DiANNA is a artificial neural network and web server, which determines the cysteine oxidation state and disulfide connectivity of a protein, given only its amino acid sequence.
  • In version 1.1 of DiANNA (2006), its functionality was extended by applying a support vector machine with spectrum kernel for the cysteine classification problem-to determine whether a cysteine is reduced (free in sulfhydryl state), half-cystine (involved in a disulfide bond) or bound to a metallic ligand. In the latter case, DiANNA predicts the ligand among iron, zinc, cadmium and carbon.
