List of disorder prediction software

Last updated

Computational methods exploit the sequence signatures of disorder to predict whether a protein is disordered, given its amino acid sequence. The table below, which was originally adapted from [1] and has been recently updated, shows the main features of software for disorder prediction. Note that different software use different definitions of disorder.
