title: A microcomputer program for hydrophilicity and amphipathicity analysis of protein antigens.
abstract: A simple and ready-to-use program to analyze hydrophilicity and amphipathicity characteristics of protein sequences is described. Three of the most commonly used hydrophilicity scales can be selected and the block length can also be varied. The program is written in BASIC language, can be run on any microcomputer and does not require computer experience. The program output is exemplified by a sample of lysozyme hydrophilicity and amphipathicity analysis.
