MetalPredator: a web server to predict iron-sulfur cluster binding proteomes

Bioinformatics. 2016 Sep 15;32(18):2850-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btw238. Epub 2016 Jun 6.

Abstract

Motivation: The prediction of the iron-sulfur proteome is highly desirable for biomedical and biological research but a freely available tool to predict iron-sulfur proteins has not been developed yet.

Results: We developed a web server to predict iron-sulfur proteins from protein sequence(s). This tool, called MetalPredator, is able to process complete proteomes rapidly with high recall and precision.

Availability and implementation: The web server is freely available at: http://metalweb.cerm.unifi.it/tools/metalpredator/
