2026 February 24 Update: VUStruct is offline

On February 17 (last week), Vanderbilt's ACCRE cluster was to have been upgraded with 3PB of new storage. This critical upgrade is not in production, although we expect resolution within a very few days. Our web server will be returned to service at that point.

Although storage is temporarily constrained, limited runs of VUStruct remain available at Vanderbilt - outside the web input form.

Please Contact Us if you would like to open a collaboration.

We shall update this page at least weekly.

Post-translational Modifications (PTMs)

Post-translational modifications to proteins are often critical to function. However, these modifications (phosphorylation, glycosylation, and others) are typically unresolved in experimental X-ray structures, and never seen in model structures. Sequence-based prediction of post-translational modification sites has been evolving in recent decades, and we have integrated MutsiteDeep (Wang et al. 2017), the first deep-learning framework for prediction of these sites.

We report variants at sites predicted to have at least a 50% likelihood of post-translational modification.
