| |
| An amino acid scale is defined by a numerical value assigned to each |

| hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity scales and the secondary structure |
| conformational parameters scales, but many other scales exist which |
| are based on different chemical and physical properties of the |
| amino acids. You can set several parameters that control the |
| computation of a scale profile, such as the window size and the window |
| edge relative weight value. |
| |
| WindowSize: The window size is the length of the interval to use for |
| the profile computation. For a window size n, we use the i-(n-1)/2 |
| neighboring residues on each side to compute the score for residue i. |
| The score for residue i is the sum of the scaled values for these |
| amino acids, optionally weighted according to their position in the |
| window. |
| |
| Edge: The central amino acid of the window always has a weight of 1. |
| By default, the amino acids at the remaining window positions have the |
| same weight, but you can make the residue at the center of the window |
| have a larger weight than the others by setting the edge value for the |
| residues at the beginning and end of the interval to a value between |
| 0 and 1. For instance, for Edge=0.4 and a window size of 5 the weights |
| will be: 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 0.7, 0.4. |
| |
| The method returns a list of values which can be plotted to view the |
| change along a protein sequence. Many scales exist. Just add your |
| favorites to the ProtParamData modules. |
