Protein Sequence Statistics<br />

o GRAVY<br />

GRAVY can only be calculated for protein sequences. An error message<br />

will be displayed if a DNA or RNA sequence is selected. If sequences of all<br />

types are selected, GRAVY will only be calculated for protein<br />

sequence(s).<br />

GRAVY is the average of the hydropathicites of the amino acids.<br />

o Isoelectric Point<br />

Isoelectric points can only be calculated for protein sequences. An error<br />

message will be displayed if a DNA or RNA sequence is selected. If<br />

sequences of all types are selected, the isoelectric point will only be<br />

generated for protein sequence(s).<br />

The isoelectric point is the pH at which the protein carries a zero net<br />

electric charge.<br />

o Generate Protein Statistics<br />

Protein statistics can only be calculated for protein sequences. An error<br />

message will be displayed if a DNA or RNA sequence is selected. If<br />

sequences of all types are selected, the protein statistics will only be<br />

generated for the strict DNA sequence(s).<br />

Protein statistics provides a count and percentage of each of the amino<br />

acids for each sequence.<br />

Substring Search<br />

o Find ORFs (Open Reading Frames)<br />

ORFs can only be found for DNA sequences. An error message will be<br />

displayed if a protein or RNA sequence is selected. If sequences of all<br />

types are selected, the ORFs will only be found for the DNA sequence(s).<br />

ATG, TTG, CTG and GTG are all considered start codons<br />

Different Output Locations:<br />

BELOW – Only prints the top-scoring ORF<br />

REPLACE – Highlights the top-scoring ORF<br />

CLIPBOARD – Saves all discovered ORFs<br />

NEW DOC – Prints all discovered ORFs<br />

See Motif Discovery Options for options relating to ORFs<br />

o Find Substring<br />

Substring searches can only be completed for DNA sequences. An error<br />

message will be displayed if a protein or RNA sequence is selected. If<br />

sequences of all types are selected, the substring search will only be<br />

completed for the DNA sequence(s).
