MEMSAT 3
:: DESCRIPTION
MEMSAT (MEMbrane protein Structure And Topology) is a program which predicts the secondary structure and topology of all-helix integral membrane proteins based on the recognition of topological models. The original MEMSAT method employed a set of statistical tables (log likelihood ratios) compiled from well- characterized membrane protein data, and a novel dynamic programming algorithm to recognize membrane topology models by expectation maximization. These statistical tables showed definite biases towards certain amino acid species on the inside, middle and outside of a cellular membrane.
