R Documentation

Calculation of physicochemical amino acid properties for APEX

Description

Calculation of physicochemical amino acid properties for APEX.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
apexFeatures(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'apexFeatures'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a mandatory data frame containing the variables in the model. The data frame requires the columns "peptide_sequence", "apex". The data may contain training data (with boolean "apex" and test data (with "apex"=NA))
...	future extensions.

Details

The apexFeatures function computes the APEX or PeptideSieve features (Mallick et al., 2006; Vogel et al., 2008) based on AAindex (Kawashima et al., 2008) and returns them in an apexFeatures object for further usage in the APEX module.

Value

An object of class apexFeatures.
