NAME

epestfind - Finds PEST motifs as potential proteolytic cleavage sites

epestfind -help

DESCRIPTION

epestfind is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Protein:Motifs" command group(s).

OPTIONS

Input section

-sequence sequence
Protein sequence USA to be analysed.
-mwdata datafile
Default value: Emolwt.dat

Required section

-window integer
Minimal distance between positively charged amino acids. Default value: 10
-order selection
Name of the output file which holds the results of the analysis. Results may be sorted by length, position and score. Default value: score

Additional section

-threshold float
Threshold value to discriminate weak from potential PEST motifs. Valid PEST motifs are discriminated into 'poor' and 'potential' motifs depending on this threshold score. By default, the default value is set to +5.0 based on experimental data. Alterations are not recommended since significance is a matter of biology, not mathematics. Default value: +5.0

Advanced section

-mono boolean
Default value: N
-potential boolean
Decide whether potential PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: Y
-poor boolean
Decide whether poor PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: Y
-invalid boolean
Decide whether invalid PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: N
-map boolean
Decide whether PEST motifs should be mapped to sequence. Default value: Y

Output section

-outfile outfile
Name of file to which results will be written.
-graph xygraph
