How long do I have to wait for the launch page to appear after pressing the Submit Request button?
The amount of time needed for the server program to send back the launch page depends on the size of the query protein, the number of chains the protein, and the CPU load during the submission process. A protein composed of a single chain and about 100 amino acids will almost always take less than a minute. An immunoglobulin with two chains will take somewhere between minute and a half to two minutes. Since VAST search calculates structure neighbors of each individual chain, we strongly recommend that you submit a separate job for each chain.
