is_tmh {pureseqtmr}

Determine if the protein sequence contains at least one transmembrane helix.

Description

Determine if the protein sequence contains at least one transmembrane helix.

Usage

is_tmh(protein_sequence, folder_name = get_default_pureseqtm_folder())

Arguments

protein_sequence

a protein sequence, with the amino acids as capitals, for example MEILCEDNTSLSSIPNSL. Use check_protein_sequence to check if a protein sequence is valid.

folder_name

superfolder of PureseqTM. The superfolder's name is /home/[user_name]/.local/share by default, as can be obtained by get_default_pureseqtm_folder

Value

TRUE if the protein sequence contains at least one transmembrane helix
