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

Input file format

   pepnet reads a single protein sequence.

   The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

   Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS
   installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

   Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format
   written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

   The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier
   -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required
   format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em),
   genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw),
   dasgff and debug.

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further
   information on sequence formats.

Output file format

   The output is to the specified graphics device.

   The results can be output in one of several formats by using the
   command-line qualifier -graph xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name
   of the required device. Support depends on the availability of
   third-party software packages.

   The device names that output to a file are: ps (postscript), cps
   (colourps), png, gif, pdf, svg, hpgl, hp7470, hp7580, das, data.

   The other available device names are: meta, x11 (xwindows), tek
   (tek4107t), tekt (tektronix), xterm, text.

   Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html for further
   information on supported devices.
