Hmmstr/Rosetta | The HMMSTR/Rosetta Server predicts the structure of proteins from the sequence: secondary, local, supersecondary, and tertiary | http://www.bioinfo.rpi.edu/~bystrc/hmmstr/about.html | Bystroff et al., 2000; Bystroff and Shao, 2002 |
Protinfo | Protinfo PPC is a web server that predicts atomic level structures of interacting proteins from their amino-acid sequences | http://protinfo.compbio.washington.edu/ppc/ | Hung et al., 2005; Kittichotirat et al., 2009 |
Pepstr | This server predicts the tertiary structure of short peptides with sequence length varying between 7 to 25 residues | http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/pepstr/ | Kaur et al., 2007 |
FlexPepDock | The Rosetta FlexPepDock protocol for high-resolution docking of flexible peptides which mainly consists of two alternating modules that optimize the peptide backbone and rigid body orientation, respectively, using the Monte-Carlo with Minimization approach. | http://flexpepdock.furmanlab.cs.huji.ac.il/ | Raveh et al., 2010 |
PepLook | Peplook server, an efficient tool to predict peptide conformation | https://orbi.uliege.be/handle/2268/135016 | Beaufays et al., 2012 |
PepSite | This server is a tool for accurate prediction of peptide binding sites on protein surfaces | http://pepsite2.russelllab.org | Trabuco et al., 2012 |
Pep-Fold | PEP-FOLD is a de novo approach aimed at predicting peptide structures from amino acid sequences. This method, based on structural alphabet letters | https://bioserv.rpbs.univ-paris-diderot.fr/services/PEP-FOLD/ | Maupetit et al., 2009; Thevenet et al., 2012 |
Pep-Fold3 | PEP-FOLD3 latest evolution comes with a new 3D generation engine, based on a new Hidden Markov Model sub-optimal conformation sampling approach, faster by one order of magnitude than the previous greedy strategy, while not affecting performance | https://bioserv.rpbs.univ-paris-diderot.fr/services/PEP-FOLD3/ | Lamiable et al., 2016 |
