single compressed file (self-extracted). Create a directory "PROANWIN"
on your hard disk, for example, C and copy the compressed file to the
directory. Unpack the program (type PAW in DOS prompt and answer Yes
to all questions). Once you extracted archive files, start Windows and

PROGRAM CONTENT:
Directory:
Main directory - program modules

global and local (in selected region);
- Threads multiple alignment onto known 3-dimensional structure;
- Imports data in all major formats (SWISS-PROT, PIR, FASTA, GCG,
Clustal);

* Searches linear and spatial sites, conservative and variable in
changes of specified physico-chemical properties (for example,
helical hydrophobic moment);

specified physico-chemical properties (for example, Kyte-Doolittle
hydrophobicity);

ProAnWin PERMITS TO OBTAIN NEW RESULTS IMPORTANT IN BIOCHEMISTRY,
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ETC., AND TO DESIGN PROTEIN ENGINEERING EXPERIMENTS:
1. The program helps to find information that can not be found by
other programs (activity/property-modulating sites, phenotype
defining regions);
2. The user has an opportunity to conduct the analysis of
structure-activity relationships in sequences and 3D structure.
3. The program permits to generate and to check up a plenty of
hypothesis about the role of different sites and their various
physico-chemical characteristics in protein activity, that is rather
difficult or impossible at the "hand-operated" analysis.
4. Search of structure - activity relations is carried out with the
use of multiple regression analysis and the results have statistical
evaluations on reliability.
5. The user has an opportunity to work simultaneously with sequences
and 3D protein structure (sites marked on the sequence are visualized
in 3D structure and vise versa).
6. Alongside with the conventional average physico-chemical
characteristics of a sequence site the user analyzes 9 additional
characteristics of sequential (linear) sites and 5 characteristics
of spatial sites.
7. The program permits considerably to reduce time during creation a
mutant proteins with desired property.
HOW TO START
To investigate protein/peptide family of your interest you should
have or prepare sequence data file(s). You can use alternatively
sequences data files in FASTA (PEARSON), PIR, SWISS-PROT, CLUSTAL,
GCG formats or in INTERNAL 1 format (3 data files with protein names
(*.seq), protein activities or grouping (*.act) and aligned sequences
(*.ali), see the examples in DATA directory) in the current
directory. 3D protein structure you can take from PDB database.
To use the program follow the steps:
- start the program;
- select sequences of the family you are going to investigate;
- select a file with required physico-chemical properties of amino acids;
- load protein 3D structure (if available);
- define an investigated fragment (or up to 8 fragments);
- define factors for analysis;
and so on.
All other information you'll get from MANUAL.TXT or HELP.
ProAnWin IS USEFUL IN:
- protein structure-function and structure-activity investigations;
- designing proteins and peptides with improved activity;
- making multiple protein alignments and getting sense from it;
- studying phenotype-genotype correlations;
- preparation of protein 3D pictures with sites highlighted;
- protein features analysis;
- comparative protein sequence analysis.

ADDITIONAL NEW SOFTWARE TOOLS ProMSED2, ProAnalyst:
ProMSED2
ProMSED2, MS Windows application for both automatic and manual DNA
and protein sequence alignment, editing, comparison and analysis.
ProMSED2 is the enhancement of ProMSED made according to user's
remarks and suggestions. The program reads main sequence formats and
performs automatic alignments, alignment visualization and editing
and it allows sequences to be aligned interactively leaving unchanged
previously aligned regions. The program has an user-friendly
interface. Manual alignment and sequence analysis are facilitated by
coloring schemes reflecting amino acid similarity in mutational,
physico-chemical and other properties. Although ProMSED was targeted
at protein sequences, it can be used on DNA sequences as well. The
program provides flexible tool for sequences alignment, analysis,
visualization, edition and presentations.
