Ion Channel Protein Modeling Service

Ion channels are membrane proteins with important physiological and pharmacological roles. As with many integral membrane proteins, the X-ray structures of only a few bacterial channels are known, but modeling their structures is needed to analyze channel-related diseases and drug design. CD ComputaBio specializes in ion channel protein modeling services. We combine state-of-the-art computational technology with advanced scientific methods to provide unparalleled modeling services for channel proteins. We utilize techniques from computational biology, bioinformatics, and molecular modeling to provide you with professional ion channel protein modeling services.

Our Bioinformatics Tools

Robetta Server

Robetta Server provides a fully automated protein structure prediction service where we use a relatively unique approach to predict the secondary and tertiary structures of various proteins, including ion channels.

SWISS-MODEL

This is an easy-to-use online protein structure prediction tool with automatic and manual modes. The tool uses homology modeling to predict the 3D structure of proteins such as ion channels.

I-TASSER

I-TASSER can predict various protein structures including ion channels based on the principle of multi-template search, then modeling based on multi-templates separately, and finally integrating the results. The parts without templates are filled by ab initio prediction.

We offer molecular dynamics (MD) simulation services that provide insight into the following properties of channel proteins:

Conformational changes
Ion permeation
Gating mechanisms

Ion Passage Simulation Service: We can also simulate the process of ion passage through ion channel proteins to study the opening and closing mechanisms and dynamic structural changes of ion channel proteins.

Functional Annotation and Analysis
