emowse

emowse performs protein sequence searches by analyzing digest fragment molecular weights to identify and characterize proteins.

Key Features:

• Digest fragment molecular weight search: Searches protein sequences by analyzing digest fragment molecular weights to support protein identification and characterization.
• EMBOSS integration: Leverages EMBOSS C programming libraries and toolkit for implementation and extension within the EMBOSS suite.
• Database configuration: Utilizes the EMBOSS database configuration system to configure and manage sequence databases.
• Customization and integration: Uses Application Control Definition (ACD) files to customize tool parameters and supports wrapping and porting of applications for integration with third-party software.

Scientific Applications:

• Protein sequence analysis: Identification and characterization of proteins by matching observed or theoretical peptide fragment molecular weights to protein sequences.
• Bioinformatics development and integration: Extension and development of bioinformatics applications within the EMBOSS framework and integration of third-party software via wrapping and porting.

Methodology:

Performs digest fragment molecular weight analysis; implemented using EMBOSS C programming libraries; employs the EMBOSS database configuration system; uses Application Control Definition (ACD) files for tool parameterization; supports wrapping and porting of applications.
