Server CPHmodels
Site (URL) http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/CPHmodels/
About CPHmodels is a collection of methods and databases developed to predict protein structures. It currently consists of the following tools: Sowhat: A neural network based method to predict contacts between C-alpha atoms from the amino acid sequence. RedHom: A tool to find a subset with low sequence similarity in a database. Databases: Subsets of the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB) database with low sequence similarity produced using the RedHom tool.

Server FUGUE
Site (URL) http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/~fugue/
About The program FUGUE searches a sequence or sequence alignment against the library of profiles. Environment-specific substitution tables were derived from the structure-based alignments in the HOMSTRAD database. Each alignment in HOMSTRAD was converted into a scoring template (profile) using the environment-specific substitution tables and environment-dependent gap penalties.
