HMMSTR 20120205

:: DESCRIPTION

HMMSTR ( Hidden Markov Model for Local Sequence-Structur) is a hidden Markov model for protein structure prediction. The program takes as input an amino acid probability distribution (or profile) for each residue position.  A profile may be derived from a multiple sequence alignment, or by running the database search program such as PSI_BLAST. It contains the programs needed to predict secondary structure starting with a sequence profile. The sequence profile (a vector of 20 probabilities for each residue in the sequence) can be the output of a profile HMM such as HMMer. It may also be the output of Psi-Blast, which uses profiles internally, or may be generated from a multiple sequence alignment. The programs in this package, HMMSTR and associated format converters, will give you a probabilistic prediction of each of the six DSSP symbols: H,E,G,S,T and _. For now, this is a bare-bones package.
