PFP 2.3 – Extracting and Displaying Positive Electrostatic Patches on Protein Surfaces

PFP 2.3

:: DESCRIPTION

PFP or PFplus / PatchFinderPlus is a web-based tool for extracting and displaying continuous electrostatic positive patches on protein surfaces. The input required for PFplus is either a four letter PDB code or a protein coordinate file in PDB format, provided by the user. PFplus computes the continuum electrostatics potential and extracts the largest positive patch for each protein chain in the PDB file.

AFPredictor – Predicts potential Ice-binding Sites based on Geometric Analysis of the Protein Surface

AFPredictor

:: DESCRIPTION

Given a protein structure (PDB file), AFPredictor will predict potential ice-binding sites based on geometric analysis of the protein surface. It can be used to predict novel antifreeze proteins from 3D structure alone.
