Abstract

Summary: An improved version of the PRIDE (PRobaility of IDEntity) fold prediction algorithm has been developed, based on more solid statistical basis, fast search capabilities and efficient input structure processing. The new algorithm is effective in identifying protein structures at the 'H' level of the CATH hierarchy. Availability: The new algorithm is integrated into the PRIDE2 web servers at http://pride.szbk.u-szeged.hu and http://www.icgeb.org/pride Contact: pongor@icgeb.org Supplementary information: Detailed documentation and performance evaluation is available in the description section of the PRIDE2 web server.
