Help Page

This page provides a guide for users of AlgPred 3.0, with descriptions and figures to facilitate effective use of its prediction modules.

Prediction of Allergens

This module predicts allergenic/non-allergenic proteins from their primary amino acid sequence.

Prediction Module

IgE Epitope Mapping

This module is designed for mapping experimentally validated IgE epitopes on the query sequence.

IgE Epitope Mapping

Motif Scan Module

This module allows users to scan for IgE motifs in the query sequence. Two programs, MEME/MAST and MERCI, were used to derive motifs from experimentally validated IgE epitopes.

BLAST Search Module

This module predicts a query sequence as an allergen if it gets any hit from the database and as a non-allergen if it does not.
