List of protein structure prediction software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Constituent amino-acids can be analyzed to predict secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structure.

This list of protein structure prediction software summarizes notable used software tools in protein structure prediction, including homology modeling, protein threading, ab initio methods, secondary structure prediction, and transmembrane helix and signal peptide prediction.
