An EXCEL-based method to search for potential Ser/Thr-phosphorylation sites in proteins.
A user-friendly, inexpensive EXCEL-based program to find potential phosphorylation sites in proteins is presented. The input of the program is a protein sequence in single letter code. The program searches for 93 different protein kinase recognition sites from 30 different protein kinases. The output is a list of these sites and their position in the sequence. The program can easily be updated in case new recognition sites are described. With a few adaptations, the tool can also be used to find other patterns in a protein sequence.
