About 14-3-3-Pred

14-3-3-Pred is a webserver that predicts 14-3-3-binding sites by combining predictions from three different classifiers: ANN, PSSM and SVM. Proteins of interest can be queried using single UniProt accession identifiers or as sequences in FASTA format. A table with prediction scores as well as information on the phosphorylation state of the respective Ser/Thr is provided for each queried protein. Alternatively, a file containing up to 100 protein sequences in FASTA format can be uploaded. 14-3-3-Pred then generates comma/tab-separated output results files that can be easily used to further compare predictions, elaborate hypotheses, and prioritise laboratory experiments to validate the sites.

Programmatic Access

Results can be accessed using single UniProt IDs ('pid=<identifier>') and specifying the output format ('out=<format>') as either JSON, CSV or TSV. An example query is http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/1433pred/pid=O96013&out=json
