Thank You!

We gratefully acknowledge the various bioinformatics resources which we have used to develop the webserver. We have considered 103 amino acid properties (mainly derived from AAIndex) which were used to develop Folding RaCe. We have also included 94 mutation matrices and 47 distance potentials from AAIndex. Further, we have utilized the AACon standalone provided by the Barton group to calculate the conservation scores and PSI-BLAST to obtain the position-specific score matrix (PSSM).
