waveTM: wavelet-based transmembrane segment prediction.

waveTM is a web tool for the prediction of transmembrane segments in alpha-helical membrane proteins. Prediction is performed by a dynamic programming algorithm on wavelet-denoised 'hydropathy' signals. Users submit a protein sequence and receive interactively the results. Topology prediction can also be obtained in conjunction with the algorithm OrienTM. A web server that implements the waveTM algorithm is freely available at http://bioinformatics.biol.uoa.gr/waveTM.
