EMBL Secondary Structure prediction servers

PREDATOR documentation
Another secondary structure prediction program at EMBL, but not in the above list. Claims 75% accuracy.

A guide to Structure Prediction
An extremely useful overview of secondary structure prediction, with links, by Robert Russell of ICRF. Well worth a look!

SCOP: Structural Classification of Proteins
A link from the Cambridge page to a server giving heirarchical structural classification of proteins by a number of routes including keyword and homology search.

The Biomolecular Structure and Modelling Group at UCL
With links to...
Enzyme Structures Database
A database of known enzymes structures.
CATH
Protein classification system, based on differnt rules to SCOP (above)
The UCLBSM database browser
A database browser at University College London for protein sequence and structure data, including OWL, PRINTS (a database of protein finger prints) and a database of protein alignments. You can even call up colour-coded protein alignments.
Bioinformatics Practical at UCL
A web tutorial in bioinformatics (needs several Netscape windows open at once)

Birkbeck Crsytallography Department
Home of Professor Tom Blundell's Crystallography group's Web server, and the famous course on the principles of protein structure prediction (as seen in the national press). Registration now costs. Recent! The group now supports a Mirror to the PDB data library of 3D Atomic coordinates here, registration is required.

Or you could try the original Protein Data Bank or even better, Molecules-R-US at NCBI (I don't make these names up).

If you know the name of your PDB entry, EBI's
PDB database entry retriever
will get it for you fast!

Macromolecular Structure Query
Several ways to query PDB.

The BMERC PSA server
The BioMolecular Engineering Research Center Protein Sequence Analysis server. This WWW front-end to an e-mail server takes a protein sequence, calculates some secondary structure predictions and returns four e-mails (three postscript files and one explanation page) to you.

Protein Localisation server in Japan
Server that takes a protein sequence and predicts its cellular location, using established rules. Spotted by Andy Law, Roslin.

Prodom Homepage
Home of the PROtein DOMain database, with search engines.

The BLOCKS server
The homepage for the protein BLOCKS database (also accessible via MSU)

Institute of Biology and Chemistry of Proteins, France.
Home of AnTheProt (Analyse the proteins) for PCs and an e-mail based secondary structure prediction server

NNPREDICT secondary structure prediction server.
The program gives you a prediction per residue (helix, strand or no prediction) and no justification. That's chutzpah!

Biocomputing and Modelling, Zurich
Links to some nice protein modelling stuff.

The Quest Protein Database Center
A site dedicated to the creation of protein databases, with lots of nice 2D goodies.
