SPELL is an acronym for Split Protein Reassembly by Ligands or Light. SPELL server predicts potential split sites in proteins such that two halves of a splitted protein being attached to a couple of other proteins (that dimerize upon ligand or light stimulation) can reassemble into a full protein upon ligand or light stimulation. The server ranges potential split sites according to the degree of prediction reliability.
