extractProtPAAC: Pseudo Amino Acid Composition Descriptor

Description

Pseudo Amino Acid Composition Descriptor

Usage

extractProtPAAC(x, props = c("Hydrophobicity", "Hydrophilicity", "SideChainMass"), lambda = 30, w = 0.05, customprops = NULL)

Arguments

x

A character vector, as the input protein sequence.

props

A character vector, specifying the properties used. 3 properties are used by default, as listed below:

'Hydrophobicity'

Hydrophobicity value of the 20 amino acids

'Hydrophilicity'

Hydrophilicity value of the 20 amino acids

'SideChainMass'

Side-chain mass of the 20 amino acids

lambda

The lambda parameter for the PAAC descriptors, default is 30.

w

The weighting factor, default is 0.05.

customprops

A n x 21 named data frame contains n customize property. Each row contains one property. The column order for different amino acid types is 'AccNo', 'A', 'R', 'N', 'D', 'C', 'E', 'Q', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'L', 'K', 'M', 'F', 'P', 'S', 'T', 'W', 'Y', 'V', and the columns should also be exactly named like this. The AccNo column contains the properties' names. Then users should explicitly specify these properties with these names in the argument props. See the examples below for a demonstration. The default value for customprops is NULL.

Value

A length 20 + lambda named vector

Details

This function calculates the Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PAAC) descriptor (Dim: 20 + lambda, default is 50).
