Packpred: Predicting the Functional Effect of Missense Mutations

Amino acid substitutions could affect protein stability, alter/impair its function, and possibly lead to disease conditions (Zhang et al., 2012). Several such single amino acid substitutions in proteins, also called missense mutations, are implicated in diseases such as cystic fibrosis, diabetes, cancer etc.
