Proteins microenvironments modulate their structures. Binding partners, organic molecules, or dissolved ions can alter the proteins compaction, inducing aggregation or order-disorder conformational transitions. Surprisingly, bioinformatic platforms often disregard the protein context in their modeling. In recent work, we proposed that modeling how pH affects protein net charge and hydrophobicity might allow us to forecast pH-dependent aggregation and conditional disorder in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). As these approaches showed remarkable success in recapitulating the available bibliographical data, we made these prediction methods available for the scientific community as two user-friendly web servers. SolupHred is the first dedicated software to predict pH-dependent aggregation, and DispHred is the first pH-dependent predictor of protein disorder. Here we dissect the features of these two software applications to train and assist scientists in studying pH-dependent conformational changes in IDPs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
