GENtle/Protein
< GENtle
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:
| Data | Shows some basic data that has been calculated from the sequence |
| Description | Shows the sequence description |
| Scheme | Shows a DNA map-like layout of the whole protein |
| AA weight | Shows a plot of the molecular weight of the individual amino acids |
| AA isoelectric point | Shows a plot of the isoelectric point of the individual amino acids |
| Hydrophobicity | Shows a plot of the local hydrophobicity of the amino acids nearby |
| Chou-Fasman plot | Shows a detailed Chou-Fasman-plot |
Special menus
| Edit/Photometer analysis | Invokes the respective calculator |
| Edit/'Backtranslate' DNA | Attempts to generate the DNA sequence which codes for this amino acid sequence, using the full range of IUPAC base letters |
| Edit/Proteolysis assistant | Invokes the proteolysis assistant |
