Instructions
In order to use the NetNGlyc server for prediction on amino acid sequences:
- Enter a sequence (or multiple sequences in FASTA format) in the sequence window.
Alternatively, give a file name containing sequences in FASTA format (multiple
sequences allowed).
The sequence must be written using the one letter
amino acid code:
`acdefghiklmnpqrstvwy' or
`ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY'.
Other letters will be converted to `X' and treated as unknown
amino acids.
Other characters, such as whitespace and
numbers, will simply be ignored.
- Include Graph: A graphic illustrating glycosylation potentials across the sequence length will
be generated (recommended).
- Show additional thresholds: Use this option if you want the graph to include
more thresholds than the default 0.5. These additional thresholds (0.32, 0.75, 0.90)
are used to assign higher confidence levels for positive and negative sites.
See more information in the
Output Format notes.
- Choose the output format: Predict only on Asparagines that occur within
the Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr triplet, or show output for all Asparagines in the sequence.
Note that predictions on Asparagines that do not occur within the Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr
sequon are unlikely to be glycosylated, no matter what the prediction score.
The prediction method examines sequence context beyond the Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequon
since both the positive and negative data sets only those Asparagines (to train
on) that occur in Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequons. See more information in the
Output Format notes.
- Press the "Submit sequence" button.
- A WWW page will return the results when the prediction is ready.
Response time depends on system load, but is usually only a few seconds.
