Predict protein secondary structure from alignment

Dear all,

I want to predict the secondary structure using MSA as input.

I looked up Jpred4, which can use both sequence fasta or alignment in fasta format as input. However, it only provides a RESTful API for users to submit the jobs to their server, and I would like to work locally instead.

PSIPRED is another option, but it seems to not accept B in the amino acid code...

Do you have any other recommendation?

Does B mean either aspartic acid or asparagine? If so, you could replace B with D or N and run through PSIPRED.

You may try one or more of the tools at the Protein Model Portal

You can use JPred and also you can find the list of protein secondary structure prediction tools: https://molbiol-tools.ca/Protein_secondary_structure.htm
