摘要
Web-based servers implementing the DAS-TMfilter algorithm have been launched at three mirror sites and their usage is described. The underlying computer program is an upgraded and modified version of the DAS-prediction method. The new server is designed to make distinction between protein sequences with and without transmembrane (TM) helices at a reasonably low rate of false positive prediction (similar to1 among 100 unrelated queries) while the high efficiency of the original algorithm locating TM segments in queries is preserved (sensitivity of similar to95% among documented proteins with helical TM regions).
