DBD-Threader is a program for predicting the DNA-binding function of a protein. The program is a threading-based approach that requires only sequence as input. If the protein is predicted as DNA-binding, the program will report its DNA-binding domain(s) detected and DNA-binding protein residues. Details of the method is described in the reference below.
To use the webservice of this program, please copy and paste your sequence in the FASTA format. The results will be sent back to your via the e-mail address you provided. Note that the length of the sequence is limited to 1700 amino acids.
