VALPRED 3D
Please provide a PDB file. Upload the PDB file from your computer.
Please note that this PDB file is not validated, so make sure that it is a valid PDB file.
or
Enter the PDB file contents here.
Please note that these PDB file contents are not validated, so make sure that they are valid PDB file contents.
(Provide either a file or enter the contents here, not both.
If both provided, then contents here will be processed instead of uploaded file.)
Please note that if your PDB file is too big for this server (ie. more than approx. 250 residues), this server will not give an answer and will either display a blank page or time out. To know what can be done if this happens, please see the explanations below left.

Notes about running this web page :
If your PDB file has too many residues in it for this server (ie. more than approx. 250 residues), this web page will time out and not display the result (it will display a blank page, or take a long time to process and then eventually time out.).
In that case, you can either download this Perl program from
http://www.canoz.com/valpred/valpred3d_pl.txt
and run it on your own cgi-script perl-enabled web server, or run it in command line mode in your own Perl installation, (Linux Ubuntu 8.04 was used for testing).
Your own web server may allow the program to run for longer before timing out.
In command line mode, depending on your computer's memory size, you will probably be able to process longer sequences (our Linux testing machine was able to process 1800 residue long sequences).
You can also download the Windows version of this program from
http://www.canoz.com/valpred/valpred_execution_files_jun2009.zip
or from
http://www.canoz.com/valpred/valpred_execution_files_jun2009.rar
and run it on your Windows PC (Windows XP Home Edition was used for testing).
When you need to process sequences that are too long for the machine you are using, then a valid strategy is to break up your sequence into overlapping pieces, run each separately, and visually piece them together.
