Membrane Protein Bioinformatics Research Group

Topology prediction algorithms

The group leader has been engaged in sequence analysis of transmembrane proteins since the end of the 1990s and achieved remarkable results in the field of topology prediction. In a recent research, we developed an algorithm that incorporates the prediction results of the most accurate state-of-the-art prediction methods as well as experimentally established topology data and other computational biology results. The developed constrained, consensus prediction method (CCTOP) is the most accurate prediction method so far, therefore it was used for creating the human transmembrane proteome (HTP database).
