The protein module.

In this module, amino acid sequences (peptides/proteins) can be viewed, edited and annotated. It uses a sequence map as main display, and a multi-purpose overview display at the top.

Toolbar

Several functions and display options can be invoked in the tool bar:

  • Enter sequence
  • Open sequence
  • Save sequence
  • Print sequence
  • Undo
  • Cut
  • Copy
  • Paste
  • Plot (shows a plot within the sequence map)
  • Horizontal mode

Function display

The smaller display on the top can show several types of information:

DataShows some basic data that has been calculated from the sequence
DescriptionShows the sequence description
SchemeShows a DNA map-like layout of the whole protein
AA weightShows a plot of the molecular weight of the individual amino acids
AA isoelectric pointShows a plot of the isoelectric point of the individual amino acids
HydrophobicityShows a plot of the local hydrophobicity of the amino acids nearby
Chou-Fasman plotShows a detailed Chou-Fasman-plot

Special menus
