Post-Translational Modification site Prediction - User Interface (PTMP-UI):

    Since the diversity in the user interface (UI) of different prediction servers could greatly hinder experimental biologists in using these servers, we proposed a protocol of a unified user interface (UI) for in silico prediction servers for prediction of post-translational modification sites, based on our own work and other work on PTM site prediction. Computational biologists may follow this protocol to provide a uniform user interface, regardless of the PTM types and the computation algorithms. And wet lab biologists would be able to use any PTM site prediction servers compliant to this protocol after getting familiar with one of them.    

  • For PTMs analyses and predictions, we collected most of related online databases, web services, and tools at LINK page.

     

    Rationale for a unified UI:
    1. Input: one or multiple protein primary sequences in FASTA format
    2. Output: predicted PTM sites position and modified residue type
    3. Output: flanking peptide of the PTM site
    4. Output: evaluation score or probability of the predicted PTM site
    5. "Example-then-Submit": make a "Example" button to load example data and click on "Submit" button for demo prediction
