SOPMA

SOPMA (Self Optimized Prediction Method from Alignment) is a package to make secondary structure predictions of proteins. This program is developed for Unix workstations and has been successfully checked onto IBM rs6000 workstations and SGI.

Free for academic users via Anonymous ftp to ibcp.fr

1. A brief description is given in: "SOPM : a self optimised prediction method for protein secondary structure prediction." C. Geourjon & G. Deleage, 1994, Protein Engineering, 7, 157-164

2. Latest improvement steps and SOPMA mail server are explained in: "SOPMA : Significant improvements in protein secondary structure prediction by prediction from multiple alignments." C. Geourjon & G. Deleage, 1995, Submitted

Secondary structure prediction by SOPMA can be performed by us provided you send the sequence (just the sequence) by Email to deleage@ibcp.fr with "SOPMA" as the subject or use our WWW server (URL http://www.ibcp.fr)

Warning: The body of the message must contain just the sequence (no blank, no title, no signature, no special characters *,>,...)

In this case, you should receive 2 files: 1) A consensus secondary structure derived from 6 methods
