Betascan 20081027 – Predict Beta-sheets from Sequence alone using Pairwise Probabilistic Modeling

Betascan 20081027

:: DESCRIPTION

BETASCAN calculates likelihood scores for potential beta-strands and strand-pairs based on correlations observed in parallel beta-sheets. The program then determines the strands and pairs with the greatest local likelihood for all of the sequence’s potential beta-structures.
