Servers:

ProtParam- https://web.expasy.org/protparam/

A tool which allows the computation of various physical and chemical parameters for a given protein. The computed parameters include the molecular weight, theoretical pI, amino acid composition, atomic composition, and extinction coefficient. 

JANE- Journal Author Name Estimator – https://jane.biosemantics.org/index.php

Enter the title and/or abstract of your potential paper in the box, and Jane will compare it to find the best matching journals, authors or articles to help choose a place for submission.

PDBePISA (Proteins, Interfaces, Structures and Assemblies)– https://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/prot_int/pistart.html

Results include:

  • Structural and chemical properties of macromolecular surfaces and interfaces
  • probable quaternary structures (assemblies), their structural and chemical properties and probable dissociation pattern

PDBeFold- https://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/ssm/

A comparison with other protein matching services. PDBeFold is used as a structure search engine in PDBePISA.
