Protein/peptide characterization/properties tools

Question

[Hansen_869]

Hi,

For my research project, I need to compare the outputs of different protein analysis tools. I will be using known proteins (such as HGH), and I want to discover whether or not these tools provide me with the same results (for the same analysis).

What I'm looking for is tools that can predict protein fibrillation, filament forming, folding, aggregates, amyloids, intra protein interactions (such as di-sulfide forming) and other similar features. Feel free to post the names of any tools that might be relevant! I need 10-20 tools, if that many exist.

Thank you very much!

I don't think many of these properties can be easily determined in silico, but you could start with InterProScan.

You may need to break some of these categories down, for instance fold prediction could be anything from predicting secondary structure from a sequence, to full-on molecular dynamics ab initio folding simulations (which are slow).
