A hidden Markov model of signal peptides has been developed. It contains submodels for the N-terminal part, the hydrophobic region, and the region around the cleavage site. For kn...
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a key technique for the analysis and identification of proteins. A prediction of spectrum peak intensities from pre computed molecular features would pave...
