It combines advanced analysis tools in one integrated software solution and provides three different threading methods. RAPTOR's unique integer programming optimization approach is most effective for finding structure templates of targets with low sequence homology and is able to generate high quality models. The easy-to-use interface and easy-to-understand E values are ideal for beginners and experts. Above all, the intuitive display of the output enables users to understand the results simply at a glance.
Unique Threading Algorithm
* RAPTOR offers three threading algorithms: two based on dynamical programming (DP) and one based on integer programming (IP). The DP algorithms effectively handle most easy sequences (high homology). For hard sequences (low homology), The IP algorithm gives confident Prediction.
Supreme Accuracy
* RAPTOR has superior recognition of structure similarities at the fold, family and super family levels. It delivers high accuracy alignments and models, as demonstrated in recent community-wide tests.
Conservation Discovery
* RAPTOR has proven its ability to find structural conservation that is otherwise unnoticed by most threading algorithms. RAPTOR’s unique integer programming algorithm takes pairwise contact potential into consideration when doing threading, which has greatly enhanced the prediction accuracy.
Up-To-Date Template Library
* The structure template library used in RAPTOR is a representative subset of the PDB database. As the PDB is constantly updated, BSI provides template updates every three months.
Easy to Install and Use
* Installation of RAPTOR is fully automated and users just need to specify the installation path. A friendly GUI enables even beginners to start quickly. With the preset configuration, users simply need to click the Run button to obtain final results.
Intuitive Output
* The intuitive output makes it possible to understand relevant data at a glance.
