Hi Bruce, Sory. There isn't currently anything thad does what you need We have a package org.biojava.bio.proteomics with classes Digest, MassCalc and Protease. It looks like the ideal place to put an IsoelectricCalc class, or perhaps a single class for calculating a global property of an entire protein sequence which can be parameterised by mass tables, isoelectric points, or whatever else. Among the news groups there are a consitent stream of requests for isoelectric point calculators. Would anyone like to volunteere code/tables that do the job? Matthew ps On a sort of related point, to make these things work we need a framework for representing residue modifications e.g. phosphorylation, methylation _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
