LearnCoil-VMF: A program for identifying coiled-coil-like regions in viral membrane-fusion proteins

LearnCoil-VMF has been used to detect coiled-coil-like regions in many viral membrane-fusion proteins, including those of many retroviruses, paramyxoviruses, and filoviruses. This work is described in:

  Mona Singh, Bonnie Berger and Peter S. Kim,
  "LearnCoil-VMF: Computational evidence
  for coiled coil-like motifs in many viral
  membrane-fusion proteins," 
  Journal of Molecular Biology,
  in press.
