SWISS-MODEL [1] is a bioinformatics tool that is widely used for protein structure prediction. In this article, we are going to discuss its uses and applications.

SWISS-MODEL predicts protein three-dimensional structure using homology modeling. Some of its basic and advanced uses are described below:

  • The most common application of SWISS-MODEL is structure prediction.
  • It can also be used for the visualization of target-template alignment.
  • Multiple sequences can be submitted for structure prediction by uploading a single file consisting of protein sequences in FASTA format.
  • Target sequences must be unique. It will not accept any file that contains duplicate sequences.
  • Users can also provide a template for the structure prediction of a target sequence.
  • SWISS-MODEL also offers to provide full control over the projects submitted in its workspace. This is called the ‘DeepView Project’. Using this, users can change the modeling parameters.
  • Users are also allowed to select a template for structure prediction.
  • The best predicted structure is selected on the basis of GMQE and QMEAN scores.
  • SWISS-MODEL has a repository [2] that consists of modeled structures.
