COTH (CO-THreader) is a multiple-chain protein threading algorithm
to identify and recombine protein complex structures
from both tertiary and complex structure libraries.
It first generates complex query-template alignments
by sequence profile-profile alignment assisted by the
ab initio binding-site predictions from
BSpred.
The monomer structures from tertiary template library are
then combined into the complex framework by structure superposition
(More about the server ...).
The output of the COTH server include
(An example of the COTH output):
- Top ten template proteins and the query-template alignments from COTH threading.
- COTH recombination models generated by superposition of MUSTER individual
chain template on the multimeric template framework of COTH threading.
