PEPTIDESTRUCTURE, that will provide you with an antigenic index based on
the method of Jameson and Wolf (CABIOS 4:181-186, 1988), and this can be
plotted with a different GCG program called PLOTSTRUCTURE. I have no
information on the reliability of this prediction method. At NIH, you can
get an account to use GCG from DCRT (helix, UNIX-based), or alternatively
from the Frederick Biomedical Supercomputing Center (VAX/VMS-based).
