procoil-package {procoil} | R Documentation |
The package allows for predicting whether a coiled coil sequence (amino acid sequence plus heptad register) is more likely to form a dimer or more likely to form a trimer. Additionally to the prediction itself, a prediction profile is computed which allows for determining the strengths to which the individual residues are indicative for either class. Prediction profiles can also be visualized as curves or heatmaps.
The package defines two S4 classes, CCModel
and
CCProfile
. The former's purpose is to represent
a coiled coil prediction model. The default model
PrOCoilModel
is pre-loaded when the package is loaded.
An alternative model PrOCoilModelBA
is also available.
Other models can be loaded with the function
readCCModel
. The
predict
function is
used to predict the oligomerization of one or more coiled coil
sequences (which consist of a amino acid sequences and heptad
registers aligned to them). The result is stored in a
CCProfile
object.
The resulting prediction profile can be visualized with
plot
.
