protpy

The project aims at developing a package to compute protein descriptors using python. Introduction Sequence-derived structural and physicochemical features are highly useful for representing and distinguishing proteins or peptides of different structural, functional and interaction properties, and have been extensively used in developing methods and software for predicting protein structural and functional classes, protein-protein interactions, drug-target interactions,protein substrates, molecualr binding sites on proteins, subcellular locations, protein crystallization propensity and peptides of specific properties. In order to conveniently apply these structural features from a protein sequence for researchers, we developed a propy package using pure python language, which could calculate a large number of protein descriptors from a protein sequence. The propy package has the following features: (1): It is written by the pure python language. It
