PrionW: a server to identify proteins containing glutamine/asparagine rich prion-like domains and their amyloid cores.

Prions are a particular type of amyloids with the ability to self-perpetuate and propagate in vivo. Prion-like conversion underlies important biological processes but is also connected to human disease. Yeast prions are the best understood transmissible amyloids.

AGGRESCAN3D (A3D): server for prediction of aggregation properties of protein structures.

Protein aggregation underlies an increasing number of disorders and constitutes a major bottleneck in the development of therapeutic proteins. Our present understanding on the molecular determinants of protein aggregation has crystalized in a series of predictive algorithms to identify aggregation-prone sites. A majority of these methods rely only on sequence.
