Running OCTOPUS
Paste an amino acid sequence in FASTA format into the submit form.
A prediction generally takes 15-30 seconds depending on the length of the sequence.
For unusually long sequences, a prediction may take a few minutes.
Interpreting results
Topology output: This is a graphic representation of the most likely topology
as predicted by OCTOPUS.
The raw data underlying this plot can also be found
in the OCTOPUS topology file.
Network output: The two diagrams show the estimated preference for each residue
to be located in different structural regions. The top diagram shows the preference of
being either in:
- the hydrophobic part of the membrane, 0-13Å from the membrane center (M)
- the membrane water-interface, 11-18Å from the membrane center (I)
- a close loop region, 13-23Å from the membrane center (L)
- a globular region, further than 23Å from the membrane (G)
The bottom diagram shows the estimated preference of a particular residue to be located
either on the inside (i) or on the outside (o) of the membrane.
The raw data underlying these two plots can be found in the OCTOPUS network file.
