In-house software and tools

For most of below tools, we now have the b2bTools one-stop file upload location where you can easily try them.


DisoMine

ST resource  DisoMine

Prediction of protein disorder from sequence only

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO), Ph.D. grant Daniele Raimondi (IWT),

ACPYPE

ST resource  ACPYPE

ACPYPE enables the generation of topology files for molecular dynamics simulations. It will be moved from its current location to the internal resources during late 2018/early 2019.

Developers: Luciano Kagami, Wim Vranken,

Funding: No funding associated.

PhyloCys

ST resource  PhyloCys

PhyloCys is a tool to predict cysteine disulphide bonding patterns in proteins from evolutionary sequence information.

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: BB2B 2010-1-12 (Innoviris), Ph.D. grant Daniele Raimondi (IWT),

Sephiroth

ST resource  Sephiroth

Sephiroth is a tool to predict the cysteine disulphide bonding pattern in proteins from evolutionary sequence information.

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: BB2B 2010-1-12 (Innoviris), Ph.D. grant Daniele Raimondi (IWT),

Rigapollo

ST resource  Rigapollo

Rigapollo is an SVM-dependent pairwise HMM tool for protein pairwise alignments.

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO), Ph.D. grant Daniele Raimondi (IWT),

Agmata

ST resource  Agmata

Agmata is a single-sequence based predictor of protein regions that are likely to cause beta-aggregation. It is based on a model that uses the biophysical predictions of protein behaviour, not on amino acid codes directly.

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO),

ShiftCrypt

ST resource  ShiftCrypt

ShiftCrypt enables the compression of chemical shift information for proteins into single per-residue values that reflect the in-solution biophysical properties of those residues. You can also align proteins based on the ShiftCrypt value.,

Developers: Luciano Kagami, Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO),

PSP

ST resource  PSP

PSP (Phase Separating Protein) enables you to predict whether a protein is likely to phase-separate with a particular mechanism involving RNA interacts (FUS-like proteins). It will highlight the regions in your protein that are involved mechanistically, and provide an overall score.

Developers: Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO), Ph.D. grant Daniele Raimondi (IWT),

b2bTools

ST resource  b2bTools

Our new b2bTools interface gives integrated access to individual predictors, and includes a novel feature to explore prediction-based 'biophysical variation' of proteins from a multiple sequence alignment.

Developers: François Ancien, David Bickel, Danh Bui-Thi, Charlotte Crauwels, Adrian Diaz, Bhawna Dixit, Jose Gavaldá-García, Sophie-Luise Heidig, Luciano Kagami, Gabriele Orlando, Daniele Raimondi, Pathmanaban Ramasamy, Joel Roca Martinez, Konstantina Tzavella, Wim Vranken,

Funding: G.0328.16N (FWO), RNAct (EC),

RRMScorer

ST resource  RRMScorer

With RRMScorer you can predict which RNA triplet a given RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain is likely to bind. The website visualises the results and gives extensive additional information about the prediction. Note that the RRMScorer predictions are restricted to the 'canonical' RNA binding mode of RRMs.

Developers: Adrian Diaz, Joel Roca Martinez,

Funding: RNAct (EC),

ConStaVa

ST resource  ConStaVa

ConStaVa is a tool for the probabilistic interpretation of large conformational ensembles (e.g. from MD simulations or for intrinsically disordered proteins). Through analysis of phi/psi angle distributions, it detects six conformational states and calculates the associated 'conformational state variability'. It so moves away from traditional fixed secondary structure interpretation of models to a more ensemble-oriented interpretation that is useful for dynamic regions of proteins.
