Peptides: A Package for Data Mining of Antimicrobial Peptides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are a promising source of antibiotics with a broad spectrum activity against bacteria and low incidence of developing resistance. The mechanism by which an AMP executes its function depends on a set of computable physicochemical properties from the amino acid sequence. Peptides package was designed for allowing the quick and easy computation of ten structural characteristics own of the antimicrobial peptides, with the aim of generating data for increase the accuracy in classification and design of new amino acid sequences. Moreover, the options to read and plot XVG output files from GROMACS molecular dynamics package was included.
