Paircoil2: improved prediction of coiled coils from sequence.
Open accessAbstract
Summary: We introduce Paircoil2, a new version of the Paircoil program, which uses pairwise residue probabilities to detect coiled–coil motifs in protein sequence data. Paircoil2 achieves 98% sensitivity and 97% specificity on known coiled coils in leave-family-out cross-validation. It also shows superior performance compared with published methods in tests on proteins of known structure. Availability: Paircoil2 is freely available as a web application and for download at Contact: keating@mit.edu; bab@mit.edu Supplementary information: Available at Bioinformatics online and at the Paircoil website.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
