With these predictions we try to capture the 'emergent' properties of the proteins, so the inherent biophysical propensities encoded in the sequence, rather than the behavior of a final folded state. This relevant as proteins are dynamic even when folded, and might not fold at all (as with intrinsically disordered proteins). Please see our website for more information on how to run these approaches on your own sequences.
