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:
