RCNPRED: prediction of the residue co-ordination numbers in proteins.
The RCNPRED server implements a neural network-based method to predict the co-ordination numbers of residues starting from the protein sequence. Using evolutionary information as input, RCNPRED predicts the residue states of the proteins in the database with 69% accuracy and scores 12 percentage points higher than a simple statistical method. Moreover the server implements a neural network to predict the relative solvent accessibility of each residue. A protein sequence can be directly submitted to RCNPRED: residue co-ordination numbers and solvent accessibility for each chain are returned via e-mail.
