About SHIFTASA:

The SHIFTASA web server is designed to accurately estimate residue-level fractional accessible surface area (fASA) from backbone and side-chain chemical shifts for water-soluble proteins. SHIFTASA accepts either a BMRB (BioMagResBank) formatted (NMR-STAR 2.1 or NMR-STAR 3.1) or a SHIFTY formatted file with at least 70-80% backbone and side-chain atoms having chemical-shifts assigned. The server generates predicted per-residue fASA values and a corresponding graphics plot in ~90-120 seconds (if the evolutionary profile-based prediction option is not used) or >300 seconds (if the evolutionary profile-based prediction option is used). Extensive testing indicates that SHIFTASA achieves a correlation coefficient between predicted and experimental values of 0.80-0.82 (tested on different control sets), which is significantly better than other existing methods. SHIFTASA combines the predictive power of machine learning with the added benefits of advanced sequence analysis to accurately estimate fASA via chemical shift data.
