===== PSPP - A Protein Structure Prediction Pipeline for Computing Clusters ===== Protein structures are critical for understanding the mechanisms of biological systems and, subsequently, for drug and vaccine design. Unfortunately, protein sequence data exceed structural data by a factor of more than 200 to 1. This gap can be partially filled by using computational protein structure prediction. While structure prediction Web servers are a notable option, they often restrict the number of sequence queries and/or provide a limited set of prediction methodologies. Therefore, we present a standalone protein structure prediction software package suitable for high-throughput structural genomic applications that performs all three classes of prediction methodologies: comparative modeling, fold recognition, and ab initio. This software can be deployed on a user's own high-performance computing cluster.

BLASTPGP - should point to the 'bin' directory (including the '\' or '/' in the end) containing the 'blastpgp' executable. DATABASE- should point to the name of the BLAST parseable database. Change the file permissions of the executable by running 'chmod FEIFDomLIN.exe 755' for the Linux version.
