What Software is Used for Circular Dichroism Data Analysis?
Circular Dichroism (CD) is a spectroscopic technique used to study the structures of biological macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. Several software tools are available for analyzing CD data, including the following common ones:
CDPro
CDPro is software for analyzing protein secondary structure. It includes three main programs: CONTIN, SELCON3, and CDSSTR, which predict protein secondary structure content based on CD data by using reference datasets.
DichroWeb
DichroWeb is an online CD data analysis tool that can be used to predict protein secondary structure. It offers various algorithms and reference datasets.
CDtool
CDtool is a software package for processing and analyzing CD data, providing useful features such as data smoothing, background correction, and secondary structure prediction.
CDNN
CDNN is a neural network-based software for CD data analysis, useful for predicting protein secondary structure and helix content.
BeStSel
BeStSel is an online tool used to predict protein secondary structure from CD data. It uses Bayesian statistical methods for analysis and provides visualized results.
Note that the software and tools used for CD data analysis require specific data formats, so be sure to prepare your data according to the software’s specifications. Since the predictions from different software may vary slightly, it is recommended to try multiple methods during the analysis for more accurate results.
