public class MWPICalc
extends Object

A utility class for calculating pI and MW from a sequence of amino acids. The algorithms used are described in "Bjellqvist, B.,Hughes, G.J., Pasquali, Ch., Paquet, N., Ravier, F., Sanchez, J.-Ch., Frutiger, S. & Hochstrasser, D.F. The focusing positions of polypeptides in immobilized pH gradients can be predicted from their amino acid sequences. Electrophoresis 1993, 14, 1023-1031.
