Cofactory - 1.0
Identification of Rossmann folds and prediction of FAD, NAD and NADP specificity
Cofactory is a server that identifies Rossmann fold sequence domains and predicts their specificity for the cofactors FAD, NAD or NADP.
Submission
Restrictions:
At most 2,000 sequences and 200,000 amino acids per submission; each sequence not more than 6,000 amino acids.
Confidentiality:
The sequences are kept confidential and will be deleted
after processing.

Instructions
1. Specify the input sequences
All the input sequences must be in one-letter amino acid code. The allowed alphabet (not case sensitive) is as follows:
All the alphabetic symbols not in the allowed alphabet will be converted to X before processing. All the non-alphabetic symbols, including white space and digits, will be ignored.
The sequences can be input in the following two ways:
-
Paste a single sequence (just the amino acids) or a number of sequences in
FASTA
format into the upper window of the main server page.
- Select a FASTA file on your local disk, either by typing the file name into the lower window or by browsing the disk.
Both ways can be employed at the same time: all the specified sequences will
be processed. However, there may be not more than 2,000 sequences and
200,000 amino acids in total in one submission. The sequences
may not be longer than 6,000 amino acids.
2. Submit the job
Click on the "Submit" button. The status of your job (either 'queued' or 'running') will be displayed and constantly updated until it terminates and the server output appears in the browser window.At any time during the wait you may enter your e-mail address and simply leave the window. Your job will continue; you will be notified by e-mail when it has terminated. The e-mail message will contain the URL under which the results are stored; they will remain on the server for 24 hours for you to collect them.
Output format
Short description:
Each identified Rossmann fold sequence domain is associated with three neural network scores, one for each of the three cofactors FAD, NAD and NADP. A score above 0.5 indicates that the domain is predicted to be specific for the particular cofactor. The prediction scores are followed by a summary of the predicted cofactor specificity. If multiple specificities are predicted the identifiers are separated with a slash e.g. NAD/NADP. The approximate Rossmann fold sequence boundaries are provided next to the summary and these are followed by the amino acid sequence. If no Rossmann fold sequence domains are identified the domain count is 0 and no scores or domain boundaries are reported.
