ProtScale

ProtScale

ProtScale allows you to compute and represent the profile produced by any amino acid scale on a selected protein.
An amino acid scale is defined by a numerical value assigned to each type of amino acid. The most frequently used scales are the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity scales and the secondary structure conformational parameters scales, but many other scales exist which are based on different chemical and physical properties of the amino acids. This program provides 57 predefined scales entered from the literature.

Enter a sequence

Please enter one UniProtKB AC/ID (e.g. P05130 or KPC1_DROME).
Alternatively, enter one protein sequence in single letter code (e.g. ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY).
