Abstract

The study describes several physicochemical properties of amino acids which can help to study biological functions, profiles and folding of proteins. The java based tool calculates seven different statistical parameters namely Isoelectric Point, Molecular Weight, Aliphatic index, GRAVY (Grand average of hydropathicity), Extinction Coefficient, Aromaticity Score and Instability index for fasta input protein sequence. The tool has the option to save the result in an auto generated filename and also finds the time required to calculate the result. The tool runs on android phones by using the JBlend application. The tool is available at https://usegalaxy.org/SequenceStatistics.
