NAME

MS::PepUtils - utility functions for proteomics calculations

SYNOPSIS

use MS::PepUtils qw/calc_mw calc_gravy calc_parker calc_aliphatic calc_fragments digest/;

my $mw = calc_mw( 'ACDEF' );
my $gravy = calc_gravy( 'ACDEF' );
my $hydro = calc_parker( 'ACDEF' );
my $ai = calc_aliphatic( 'ACDEF' );
my @peps = digest(
    'ACDEF',
    ['trypsin'],
    0,
);
my @frags = calc_fragments(
    'ACDEF',
    [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
    3,
    1,
);

DESCRIPTION

WARNING: This module is deprecated. See below.

MS::PepUtils was a set of utility functions for common proteomics calculations. It's use has been superceded by the MS::Peptide and MS::Protein classes, which implement many of the same functions here in both OO and functional interfaces and are generally more useful. This module has been retained for backward-compatibility only.

FUNCTIONS

calc_mw

my $mw = calc_mw( 'ACDEF' );

Returns the average molecular weight of a protein.

calc_gravy

calc_parker

my $gravy = calc_gravy( 'ACDEF' );
my $hydro = calc_parker( 'ACDEF' );

Returns calculation of average hydropathicity based on the GRAVY and Parker/Guo/Hodges scales, respectively.

calc_aliphatic

my $ai = calc_aliphatic( 'ACDEF' );

Returns a calculation of aliphatic index for a protein.

digest

my @peps = digest(
    'ACDEF',
    ['trypsin'],
    0,
);

Performs an in silico hydrolytic cleavage of the protein sequence and returns an array of peptide sequences. Undocumented -- please use MS::Protein::digest in new code.

calc_fragments

my @frags = calc_fragments(
    'ACDEF',
    [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
    3,
    1,
);

Returns a set of daughter fragment series representative of a fragmentation of a parental ion. The return value is an (undocumented) complex data structure. Please do not use in new code. The functionality will eventually be better implemented within other namespaces.
