iORbase

The iModelTM module can quickly produce 3D models of query iOR sequences and determine their transmembrane counts. The transmembrane region of iORs plays a very important role in their functions, and the integrity of the transmembrane count determines its functional integrity, so determining the transmembrane count of an olfactory receptor sequence is of great importance for subsequent studies. Compared to traditional prediction methods, the iModelTM module provides a new judgement method for entomologists based on spatial structure. iModelTM allows visitors to upload their query sequence in FASTA format, and the predicted 3D structure and Ramachandran plot are soon available for viewing or downloading on the next page. iModelTM allows the determination of the transmembrane count directly from the spatial structure, which is more accurate than the sequence-based algorithms.
