The PSIPRED Protein Sequence Analysis Workbench

The current PSIPRED service has reached its end of life and will be retired soon. This has been extended to 9th of April 2019.

Please migrate to the new service currently available at http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred_new/

You can get news and server updates from the PSIPRED twitter account.

Homologue Detection

It looks like your input may be a multiple sequence alignment; Multiple alignment input is only available for PSIPRED, pGenTHREADER and pDomTHREADER

Find new close and distant relatives. Your input alignment contains only some of the possible homologues (most accurate calculation)
Find new distant relatives. You are sure your input alignment contains all known close homologues
Find no relatives. You are sure your input alignment contains all known homologues (likely to be least accurate)
Help...
Warning: These options only apply to multiple alignment input.

Prediction Options

Include PSIPRED secondary structure prediction
DISOPRED2's False Positive Threshold:
Note: the threshold in False Positive Rate for DISOPRED2 predicitions is now fixed to 5%, which is the default value used by DISOPRED3.

Ensure you enter your valid MODELLER key via the BioSerf tab.

You input looks like it may be a multiple sequence alignment, please ensure it is in valid fasta format and that all sequences are the same length

You have selected every analysis. The run time will typically be around 5 to 6 hours. You may wish to select fewer specific analyses

Metsite will only analyse one chain in the PDB file at a time

There must be at least 2 chains in your PDB file.

MakeTDB will only analyse single chain PDB files.

Memembed will only process membrane proteins.
