Protein and Amino Acid Sequence Analysis

Calculate and interactively explore amino acid sequence statistics; calculate sequence properties; find cleavage enzymes

Perform in-depth analyses of amino acid sequences to get better understanding of sequence features and functions. You can compute sequence statistics, such as codon frequency and atomic composition of a protein, and interactively explore the sequences in the Sequence Viewer app. Calculate molecular weight and estimate isoelectric points of amino acid sequences. Use various utility and plotting functions to display open reading frames, draw Ramachandran plot for PDB data, and display properties, such as hydrophobicity of residues, of amino acid sequences.
