About this server ::
PredHSP (Prediction of Heat Shock Protein) is a web-server for predicting Heat Shock proteins and their class. The prediction is done by SVM model trained on coupled amino acid composition. It is a two level prediction system. 1st level classify query sequence as Heat Shock or non-heat shock protein. In case the query sequence is a heat shock protein, it will be further classified into following six classes.
- Hsp20
- Hsp40
- Hsp60
- Hsp70
- Hsp90
- Hsp100
The SVM model is trained and tested on a set of 10,000 and 2,225 non-homologous non-HSP and HSP proteins respectively. It takes amino acid sequence in FASTA format as input and predict the Heat Shock Proteins and its class. Along with each protein predicted as HSP, sub-family prediction is also given in tabular format. This table contain two columns (i) Protein Name, (ii) Whether proteins are heat-shock or not and if heat shock it gives it subfamily also. The prediction result depends on the threshold value specified by the user. The default threshold is set as 0. To get prediction with less number of false positives, the user should choose higher threshold. For prediction with less number of false negatives, threshold should be very low.
