WebPSSM – Analyze V3 Loop Coreceptor Motifs

WebPSSM

:: DESCRIPTION

WebPSSM (position-specific scoring matrices ) is a bioinformatic tool for predicting HIV-1 coreceptor usage from amino acid or nucleotide sequences of the third variable loop (V3) of the envelope gene. When a nucleotide sequence is entered, it will be translated to amino acid sequence first. If a nucleotide sequence contains ambiguous bases, it will be translated to all possible amino acid sequences.
