A Web-Based Program for the Prediction of Average Hydropathy, Average Amphipathicity and Average Similarity of Multiply Aligned Homologous Proteins

Yufeng Zhai and Milton H. Saier, Jr

We designed a web-based program, AveHAS, to determine and plot the average hydropathy, average amphipathicity and average similarity for a clustal X-derived multiple alignment of homologous protein sequences. This method is based on the TREEMOMENT and Hydro programs. It has a user-friendly interface, a convenient input format and an improved algorithm. It is available at our website: http://www.biology.ucsd.edu/~yzhai/biotools.html
