Function

   Draw a helical net for a protein sequence

Description

   pepnet draws a helical net for an input protein sequence. This is a
   method of displaying the residues of a protein in a simple 3,4,3,4
   repeating pattern that emulates at a simple level the arrangement of
   residues around an alpha helix. It is therefore easy to see patterns
   of amphipathicity that you may wish to investigate in more detail by
   using displays such as pepwheel. You can specify which residues to
   mark up in squares, diamonds and octagons.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with pepnet


% pepnet -sask 
Draw a helical net for a protein sequence
Input protein sequence: tsw:gcn4_yeast
     Begin at position [start]: 253
       End at position [end]: 274
Graph type [x11]: cps

Command line arguments

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-sequence]          sequence   Protein sequence filename and optional
