IntFOLD is a freely available an integrated protein structure and function prediction server developed in the UK[1]. The server is unique in providing a unified interface for: tertiary structure prediction/3D modelling, 3D model quality estimates, intrinsic disorder prediction, domain prediction and prediction of protein-ligand binding residues. It now also includes the option to refine/fix errors using the ReFOLD3 method [2].
Description
The underlying guiding principle of IntFOLD method is that model quality assessment (QA) is a key step for homology modelling. The method originates from the IntFOLD-TS method[3], which firstly generates numerous alternate models, using in-house versions of several different sequence-structure alignment methods, which are then ranked in terms of global quality using our top performing QA method—ModFOLD8 [4]. IntFOLD server provides the tertiary structure prediction at a competitive accuracy and combines the cutting edge methods including IntFOLD-TS for generation of 3D models [5][1][6][7], ModFOLD for 3D model quality estimation [5][8], ReFOLD for refinement of 3D models [2], DISOclust for disorder prediction [9][10] , DomFOLD for structural domain prediction [6][7] , and FunFOLD for protein ligand binding site prediction [11][12]. The integration of the tools enables users to reach all related information in a pipeline. IntFOLD Web Server has completed over ∼200 000 structure predictions since January 2010 [1]. IntFOLD server is freely available at http://www.reading.ac.uk/bioinf/IntFOLD/.
The only required input is a protein sequence for the prediction of the protein 3D structure and function [1]. The IntFOLD output is presented via a user-friendly interface, plots and annotated theoretical 3D models for the use of life scientists, as shown in Figure 1 . The raw data is also formatted in Critical Assessment of Methods for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) standards with a detailed help page [1].
Performance in CASP and CAMEO experiments
The IntFOLD method was firstly benchmarked in Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction 9 (CASP9) and ranked among the top 5.[6]. The IntFOLD server has consolidated its performance in the following CASP experiments [1][7][6]
Its performance is being continually evaluated in Continuous Automated Model EvaluatiOn (CAMEO) experiment. The performance summary of successive IntFOLD versions have ranked among top independent servers [1].
Applications of IntFOLD server
Recently, IntFOLD was used to generate the 3D models for the SARS-CoV-2 targets for the CASP Commons COVID-19 initiative.[2][13]. Different structures related to novel proteins in the Drosophila melanogaster genome [14], mammalian GCKIII kinases [15][16] , Pseudomonas fluorescens [17], proteome of barley powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei) [18], and dermatosparaxis [19] were also investigated [1]
