title: AAQUANT: a computer program for quantitative amino acid analysis of proteins and peptides.
abstract: Quantitative amino acid analysis is an important tool used in the characterization and structural determination of peptides and proteins. A new computer program, AAQUANT, has been developed specifically to aid researchers in analyzing amino acid composition data. AAQUANT calculates amino acid recoveries, including 95% confidence intervals, following acid hydrolysis of peptides and proteins, and also includes useful routines to locate regions of a specified amino acid composition in known protein sequences, compute amino acid composition reports of known protein sequences, generate proteolytic digestion maps of proteins, and create and edit protein sequence data files. This report describes the AAQUANT routines, and demonstrates the use of the program.
