Welcome to the ProbKnot Web Server

The ProbKnot server takes a sequence file of nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA, and predicts the presence of pseudoknots in its folded configuration. Note that increasing the number of calculation iterations may be helpful in increasing accuracy. Note also that if a pseudoknot-containing structure is predicted, it will be displayed as a circular structure. If the predicted structure does not contain pseudoknots, it will be displayed as a radial structure.
