Peter Sibbald wrote this procedure during his stay at the EMBL, unfortionately
he left back to Canada.
If you are looking for a program performing a search of your found amino acid
analysis.. then we have something better. [The program gives a ranking -
also looks for Swissprot + PIR - one can also search fast on partial masses
of bigger proteins - and optional pI of the protein can be put in.
The program is called PROPSEARCH and is for Unix-machines.
It was written by the Groups of Sander & the EMBL Protein + Peptide Group.
You can send your aaa-data + eventually MW + ev. pI to
f.i.: hobohm at embl-heidelberg.de
or to houthaeve at embl-heidelberg.de
If there is enough demand we might even considering putting the program
as a server on the WWW ?
Good luck.
