Protein Interaction/Interior Prediction WebServers

I've made it!
I just learned how to make a web application.

The following are 3 webservers I have ever made on http://pipe.scs.fsu.edu/
1) Protein-DNA interface prediction: DISPLAR
2) Protein-Protein Interaction Site Predictor : cons-PPISP
3) Weighted Ensemble Solvent Accessibility predictor: WESA
Out of 3 predictiors, only DISPLAR was my project as doctoral student at Florida State University with Dr. Zhou as my adviser. Displar predicts which amino acid residues on protein that potentially bind to dna. The binding sites are called protein-dna interface.

After I'm done with DISPLAR, my adviser asked me to set up cons-PPISP webserver capable of predicting protein-protein binding site, and then another webserver called WESA to serve people who want to predict whether a residue is in the interior or exterior of a protein from the amino acid sequence information only. All the three servers were done in 2006. Then I created a home for those three, and my adviser wanted to call it PIPE, but then I found out other research group had picked the PIPE name in 2006, so our webserver name was modified to PI2PE : Protein Interface/Interior Prediction Engine, which was finalized on January 20, 2007.

Hope those are useful for you.
