VVK Unique Antigen
This algorithm is for estimation of antigenicity (by the three well-known scales: Hopp and Woods acrophilicity, reversed Kyte and Doolitle hydrophobicity, reversed Eisenberg hydrophobicity) in a window of variable length along the amino acid sequence.
Instructions
Enter your amino acid sequence into the special cell in the "sequence" list.
The algorithm is able to calculate the level of dipeptide composition uniquality in a window of 9 dipeptides along the length of amino acid sequence. To perform this calculation one should first paste amino acid sequence of a proteome (or a part of a proteome) in a special cell on "proteome" list.
