[ccp4bb] Hydrophobic hotspots
Hi all, can anyone recommend a program for identifying hydrophobic (aggregation) hotspots using either the amino acid sequence and/or structural data. Thanks in advance for your help Hugh Ps. Have tried aggrescan but would like to try a few others and compare, ideally a more structural based program.
Re: [ccp4bb] Hydrophobic hotspots
Hi Hugh, Waltz is an excellent web-server to give very good results on amyloidogenic regions based on sequence stretches (correlate the regions with hydrophobic patches by hydropathy plot obtained from Expassy-Protscale). Aggrescan and PASTA are two other reliable servers for the same kind of prediction (though I have more preference for Waltz). Based on the 3D structure (pdb structures) you can use the Maestro program (from Schrodinger Inc.) to get the aggregation prone surface(s) / aggregation prone surface regions. Best!!

Dear Morgan Protein aggregation surface module in schrodinger could generate aggregation hotspots.

Re: [ccp4bb] Hydrophobic hotspots
Dear Hugh If you know Aggrescan then I assume you're away of its 3D counterpart? http://biocomp.chem.uw.edu.pl/A3D/ It even allows you to consider whether structures reached by coarse-grained MD are more aggregation-prone than your starting structure.

Hi, You can try the following using protein structures: 1) https://sbgrid.org/software/titles/quilt 2) Swiss PDBViewer, detect hydrophobic patches under Tool Surface 3) EBI PISA and look for negative delta G 4) look at protein-protein interaction and interface dbases Best, Debanu > On Jul 26, 2017, at 10:05 AM, Hugh Morgan > <1103e90ebb53-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk> wrote: > > Hi all, can anyone recommend a program for identifying hydrophobic > (aggregation) hotspots using either the amino acid sequence and/or structural > data. > Thanks in advance for your help > Hugh > > Ps.
