DNAMAN deduces protein sequences from three reading frames of a DNA sequence and displays results with many options. By setting the number of amino acid per one line, you can change the layout of the translation file.
DNAMAN allows you to select any region from a sequence file, and perform translation analysis. In the report file DNAMAN shows both translated and untranslated regions.
DNAMAN provides seven genetic code tables with the options of adding new code tables or editing any existing one. You can select any genetic code table for translation and protein analysis.
DNAMAN presents a graphical overview on six reading frames of a DNA sequence. It is a useful feature to locate the ORFs on a large DNA sequence.
DNAMAN provides a codon usage table for any reading frame of a DNA sequence. The table indicates the number and frequency of each codon used in a reading frame.
DNAMAN reports the amino acid composition, pI and molecular weight of a protein sequence.
DNAMAN shows protein hydrophobic and hydrophilic profiles in a graphic window that may help you to predict hydrophobic clusters or antigen regions in a protein sequence. The graphical profiles are editable to produce high quality illustrations for publications.
DNAMAN calculates protein charge at a given pH. It shows also the predicted isoelectric point of the protein. In addition, DNAMAN can deduce the suitable buffer pH for a desired charge.
DNAMAN predicts the secondary structure of a protein sequence using the DSC method developed by King and Sternberg.
DNAMAN provides the reverse translation of a protein sequence. It reports the reverse translated DNA sequence with ambiguous nucleotides at variant positions. This feature can be used to degenerate primers from peptide sequences.
