What is the similarity searching algorithm used by I-TASSER?

20 October 2017 1 437 Report

Hi,

I have a protein target with unknown 3D structure. I'm trying to use comparative modelling in order to predict it's structure.

For the identification of Homologous proteins I would like to use different similarity searching programs (Blastp, HHpred, HHblits...) and compare the results.

For I-TASSER I would like to know what is the similarity searching algorithm that it uses and its principle?

Thank you in advance for your help.
