The FunFOLD2 Protein-Ligand Binding Site Prediction Server

NOTE: This server is no longer maintained, please use the latest version of IntFOLD to obtain FunFOLD predictions.

This simple form allows you to predict likely ligand binding site residues for a submitted amino acid sequence using the new FunFOLD2 protocol. Further information and references can be found on the FunFOLD home page. Before you submit a prediction please refer to the help page. Click 'Help' in each section for detailed instructions.

Input sequence of protein target (in single letter amino acid code) Sample sequence

E-mail address (optional) Help

Short name for protein target (optional) Help
