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).
Name
epestfind - Finds PEST motifs as potential proteolytic cleavage sites
Options
Inputsection-sequencesequence
Protein sequence USA to be analysed.
-mwdatadatafile
Default value: Emolwt.dat
Requiredsection-windowinteger
Minimal distance between positively charged amino acids. Default value: 10
-orderselection
Name of the output file which holds the results of the analysis. Results may be sorted by length,
position and score. Default value: score
Additionalsection-thresholdfloat
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
Advancedsection-monoboolean
Default value: N
-potentialboolean
Decide whether potential PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: Y
-poorboolean
Decide whether poor PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: Y
-invalidboolean
Decide whether invalid PEST motifs should be printed. Default value: N
-mapboolean
Decide whether PEST motifs should be mapped to sequence. Default value: Y
Outputsection-outfileoutfile
Name of file to which results will be written.
