DFprot: a webtool for predicting local chain deformability

Bioinformatics. 2007 Apr 1;23(7):901-2. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm014. Epub 2007 Feb 3.

Abstract

DFprot is a web-based server for predicting main-chain deformability from a single protein conformation. The server automatically performs a normal-mode analysis (NMA) of the uploaded structure and calculates its capability to deform at each of its residues. Non-specialists can easily and rapidly obtain a quantitative first approximation of the flexibility of their structures with a simple and efficient interface.
