DIGEST : Protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage digest (EMBOSS)
Some explanations about the options
input Section- enter either the name of a file or the actual data
- if you are using Netscape 2.x or later, you can select a file by typing its name, or better, by selecting it with the Netscape file browser (Browse button)
- OR you can type your data in the next area, or cut and paste it from another application.
- (but not both)
advanced Section- Allow unfavoured cuts (-unfavoured)
- Trypsin will not normally cut after a K if it is followed by (e.g.) another K or a P. Specifying this shows those cuts. as well as the favoured ones.
- Amino acid data file (-aadata)
- Molecular weight data for amino acids
output Section- Show overlapping partials (-overlap)
- Used for partial digestion. Shows all cuts from favoured cut sites plus 1..3, 2..4, 3..5 etc but not (e.g.) 2..5. Overlaps are therefore fragments with exactly one potential cut site within it.
- Show all partials (-allpartials)
- As for overlap but fragments containing more than one potential cut site are included.
- Sequence format
- The sequence will be automatically converted in the format needed for the program
- providing you enter a sequence either:
- in plain (raw) sequence format or in one of the following known formats:
- IG,GenBank,NBRF,EMBL,GCG,DNAStrider,Fitch,fasta,Phylip,PIR,MSF,ASN,PAUP,CLUSTALW
- You may enter in the text area a database entry code, or an accession number, in this form:
database:entry_name
or:database:accession.- enter either the name of a file or the actual data
