Function

   Extract amino acid property data from AAINDEX

Description

   aaindexextract extracts amino acid property data from the AAINDEX
   database (see references 1, 2 and 3). One file for every amino acid
   property is created in the EMBOSS data directory data/AAINDEX. Each
   file corresponds to a single entry in the file aindex1 of the AAINDEX
   database.

   The aaindexextract output files files may be used by any program that
   uses amino acid property data. For example, pepwindow and pepwindowall
   will take any one of these files if their -data qualifier is set to an
   appropriate file name. By default however these programs will use the
   standard EMBOSS data file Enakai.dat.

Notes

   AAINDEX is a database of biochemical and physicochemical properties of
   amino acids and pairs of amino acids. aaindex1 for properties of each
   of the 20 single amino acids, aaindex2 for amino acid mutation matrices
   and aaindex3 for the amino-acid pair-wise contact potentials. All data
   are derived from the published literature. The file aaindex1 is
   required by aaindexextract and can be downloaded from the AAINDEX site:
   ftp://ftp.genome.ad.jp/pub/db/community/aaindex/aaindex1.

   aaindexextract will write to the EMBOSS data directory data/AAINDEX. If
   you cannot find the output files then it is likely the data directory
   has been set to somewhere other than expected. To set explicitly the
   location of the EMBOSS data directory add the following to your
   emboss.default file:

   ENV EMBOSS_DATA /path/to/the/EMBOSS/data/directory

   Where /path/to/the/EMBOSS/data/directory is the location of your EMBOSS
   data as unpacked from the distribution file.
