Method at a Glance

DISPLAR is a neural network method. Given the structure of a protein known to bind DNA, the method predicts residues that contact DNA. The inputs to the neural network include position-specific sequence profiles and solvent accessibilities of each residue and its spatial neighbors. The neural network is trained on known structures of protein-DNA complexes. On our test set, DISPLAR shows prediction accuracy over 80% and coverage of over 60% of actual DNA-contacting residues.

    • Type an arbitrary name for referencing your submission:
    • Enter an email address if you also want to receive the prediction by e-mail; otherwise leave it blank:
    • Enter the chain(s) of your protein (do not include chains for DNA):
      No chain ID: leave underscore ("_") alone
      Single chain: delete "_" and type letter or number for chain ID, e.g., A
      Multiple chains: delete "_" and type chain IDs separated by comma without space, e.g., A,B,C
