Getting Started with SSPred

Tutorial 1

Submitting Your First Sequence

Learn how to paste a protein sequence into SSPred, choose your prediction servers, and interpret the progress page while your job runs.

Tutorial 2

Understanding the Prediction Output

How to read the consensus output, what H/E/C mean, how majority voting works, and how to interpret confidence scores from different servers.

Coming Soon
Tutorial 3

Using PDB Structure IDs

Instead of pasting a sequence, you can provide a PDB ID and chain. SSPred will fetch the sequence automatically and run predictions against the known structure.

Tutorial 4

Choosing Between Prediction Servers

A guide to the current SSPred prediction servers — JPred4, PSIPred, SABLE, SSPro, YASPIN, Predator, and NetSurfP-2.0 — and when to use each.
