Randomized trial demonstrates protein structure prediction in proteins, indicating a novel approach to bioinformatics.

Key Points

The aim is to develop a web application that accurately predicts protein secondary structure from amino acid sequences using a deep learning model without the need for traditional alignment methods.
Utilized ESMFold, a pretrained protein language model by Meta AI for zero-shot secondary structure prediction.
Supported input via manual entry, FASTA file upload, and PDB ID retrieval.
Provided output visualization through interactive color-coded maps and 3D molecular views.
Achieved Q3 accuracy between 81.4% and 87.2% on benchmark proteins across all major fold classes.
Results align consistently with previously published performance metrics of ESMFold.
Application designed for both research use and educational purposes, enhancing accessibility.
