ExPASy
Molecular
Biology
Server

ExPASy Molecular Biology Server

The ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) proteomics server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). This server is dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures as well as 2-D PAGE.

ProtParam tool

A tool for computating various physical and chemical parameters for a given protein stored in SWISS-PROT or TrEMBL or for a user entered sequence. The computed parameters include the molecular weight, theoretical pI, amino acid composition, atomic composition, extinction coefficient, estimated half-life, instability index, aliphatic index and grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY). (References).


CLAMP
Software

CLAMP Software

A software program designed to interpret complex interactions recorded on biosensors. It combines numerical integration and non linear global curve fitting routines.
