BetaTPred: prediction of beta-TURNS in a protein using statistical algorithms

摘要

Motivation: beta-turns play an important role from a structural and functional point of view. U-turns are the most common type of non-repetitive structures in proteins and comprise on average, 25% of the residues. In the past numerous methods have been developed to predict U-turns in a protein. Most of these prediction methods are based on statistical approaches. In order to utilize the full potential of these methods, there is a need to develop a web server.
