Prediction of Intrinsically Unstructured Proteins

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) have no single well-defined tertiary structure under native conditions. IUPred3 is a combined web interface that allows to identify disordered protein regions using IUPred2 and disordered binding regions using ANCHOR2. IUPred3 is also capable of identifying protein regions that do or do not adopt a stable structure depending on the redox state of their environment. IUPred3 supersedes the previous IUPred and ANCHOR servers. For new features included in IUPred3, see the New features section. The IUPred3 web server can be accessed for free.

For a detailed description of how to run IUPred3 using various features and how to interpret the output, see the How to use and Examples sections. For a simple demonstration of how to input data, see the example 1 or example 2.
