ParSe v2: predict phase-separating protein regions from the primary sequence

This is a form that allows you to enter a sequence and predict the regions in a protein that are disordered, and which subset of those regions can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS).

Description

ParSe v2 is an update to the original ParSe algorithm.

ParSe v2 explores the possibility that LLPS can be predicted from sequence-based calculations of hydrophobicity, α-helix propensity, and a model of the polymer scaling exponent (ν_model). Using these three factors, any protein sequence can be parsed into one of three categories:

P Regions (P) are intrinsically disordered and prone to undergo LLPS.
D Regions (D) are intrinsically disordered but do not undergo LLPS.
F Regions (F) may or may not be intrinsically disordered, but can fold to a stable conformation.
