molweight

Calculate molecular weight of amino acid sequence

Syntax 

molweight(SeqAA)

Arguments

SeqAA

Amino acid sequence. Enter a character string or a vector of integers from the table Amino Acid Lookup Table. Examples: 'ARN', [1 2 3]. You can also enter a structure with the field Sequence.

Description

molweight(SeqAA) calculates the molecular weight for the amino acid sequence SeqAA.

Examples

Get the protein sequence for cytochrome c and determine its molecular weight.

pirdata = getpir('cchu','SequenceOnly',true)
mwcchu = molweight(pirdata)


mwcchu =
