Topology parameters are extended to include atomic information of nucleotides of RNA and DNA, which extends the capability of pKa calculations beyond proteins. The web server allows the end-user to protonate the biomolecule at particular pH based on calculated pKa values and provides the downloadable file in PQR format. Several tests are performed to benchmark the accuracy and speed of the protocol.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Implementation: The web server follows a client-server architecture built on PHP and HTML and utilizes DelPhiPKa program. The computation is performed on the Palmetto supercomputer cluster and results\/download links are given back to the end-user via http protocol. The web server takes advantage of MPI parallel implementation in DelPhiPKa and can run a single job on up to 24 CPUs.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability and implementation: The DelPhiPKa web server is available at http:\/\/compbio.clemson.edu\/pka_webserver.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0lwang3@clemson.edu or ealexov@clemson.edu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,30]],"date-time":"2015-10-30T02:48:35Z","timestamp":1446173315000},"page":"614-615","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":114,"title":["DelPhiPKa web server: predicting p<i>K<\/i>a of proteins, RNAs and DNAs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Computational Biophysics and Bioinformatics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA and"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Department of Computer Sciences, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC 27858, USA"}]},{"given":"Emil","family":"Alexov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Computational Biophysics and Bioinformatics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA and"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020110352412400_btv607-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2075","DOI":"10.1016\/S0006-3495(97)78851-9","article-title":"Incorporating protein conformational flexibility into the calculation of pH-dependent protein properties","volume":"72","author":"Alexov","year":"1997","journal-title":"Biophys.
