Function Reports on protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage sites Description This programs allows you to input one or more protein sequences and to specify one proteolytic agent from a list, which might be a proteolytic enzyme or other reagent. It will then write a report file containing the positions where the agent cuts, together with the peptides produced. Algorithm By default pepdigest uses average molecular weights. The -mono option will use monoisotopic weights. Usage Here is a sample session with pepdigest % pepdigest Reports on protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage sites Input protein sequence(s): tsw:opsd_human Enzymes and Reagents 1 : Trypsin 2 : Lys-C 3 : Arg-C 4 : Asp-N 5 : V8-bicarb 6 : V8-phosph 7 : Chymotrypsin 8 : CNBr Select number [1]: Use monoisotopic weights [N]: Output report [opsd_human.pepdigest]: Go to the input files for this example Go to the output files for this example Command line arguments Reports on protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage sites Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-seqall] seqall Protein sequence(s) filename and optional format, or reference (input USA) -menu menu [1] Select number (Values: 1 (Trypsin); 2 (Lys-C); 3 (Arg-C); 4 (Asp-N); 5 (V8-bicarb); 6 (V8-phosph); 7 (Chymotrypsin); 8 (CNBr)) -mono boolean [N] Use monoisotopic weights [-outfile] report [*.pepdigest] Output report file name (default -rformat seqtable) Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none) Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: -mwdata datafile [Emolwt.dat] Molecular weight data for amino acids -unfavoured boolean Trypsin will not normally cut after 'KR' if they are followed by any of 'KRIFLP'. Lys-C will not normally cut after 'K' if it is followed by 'P'. Arg-C will not normally cut after 'R' if it is followed by 'P'. V8-bicarb will not normally cut after 'E' if it is followed by any of 'KREP'. V8-phosph will not normally cut after 'DE' if they are followed by 'P'. Chymotrypsin will not normally cut after 'FYWLM' if they are followed by 'P'. Specifying unfavoured shows these unfavoured cuts as well as the favoured ones. -ragging boolean Allows semi-specific and non-specific digestion. This option is particularly useful for generating lists of peptide sequences for protein identification using mass-spectrometry. -termini menu [1] Select number (Values: 1 (none); 2 (nterm); 3 (cterm); 4 (nterm OR cterm)) -overlap boolean Used for partial digestion. Shows all cuts from favoured cut sites plus 1..3, 2..4, 3..5 etc but not (e.g.) 2..5. Overlaps are therefore fragments with exactly one potential cut site within it. -allpartials boolean As for overlap but fragments containing more than one potential cut site are included.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -rformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: embl, genbank, gff, pir, swiss, dasgff, debug, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, draw, restrict, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq. See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further information on report formats. By default pepdigest writes a 'seqtable' report file.

The header will report if complete or partial digestion was chosen. The rest of the file consists of columns holding the following data: * The start position of the fragment * The end position of the fragment * The molecular weight of the fragment * The residue before the cut site ('.' if start of sequence) * The residue after the second cut site ('.' if end of sequence) * The sequence of the fragment. Data files None. Notes If you wish to emulate a partial digestion, then using the -overlap qualifier will display the results from a digest in which all cut sites are used and in which one site at a time is not cut. Thus the resulting peptide fragments from the cut sites numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. are shown, plus the fragments produced by cutting at the sites 1 to 3, 2 to 4, etc. In other words, this option will reveal fragments containing one potential cut site. If you wish to emulate a very partial digestion (!) then using the -allpartials qualifier will do what -overlap did, but also show all possible fragments from using all possible combinations of cut sites. For example, fragments from the cut sites numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and from the fragments produced by cutting between sites 1..3, 1..4, 1..5, 2..4, 2..5, 3..5, etc. In other words, this option will reveal fragments containing one or more potential cut site. If the boolean -ragging is specified then terminal digest fragments are also shown; this can be useful for mass spectrometry. Ragging is further controlled by the -termini option which allows you to select removal of residues from the N and/or C termini. Each proteolytic enzyme has favoured as well as unfavoured cut sites. For example, Trypsin will not normally cut after a K if it is followed by (e.g.) another K or a P. By default, only data for favoured cut sites is generated. Specifying the qualifier -unfavoured produces data for unfavoured cut sites as well. References None. Warnings None. Diagnostic Error Messages None. Exit status It always exits with a status of 0.
