Implementation of the Chou-Fasman algorithm

This is my implementation of the Chou-Fasman method according to (Chou and Fasman, 1974).

The structure propensities were adopted from (Sing et al., 2010) because the original paper only evaluated 19 proteins.

Prerequisites

Clone this repository

https://github.com/jseidel5/chou-fasman-algorithm.git
cd chou-fasman-algorithm

Input

python algorithm.py sequence_file [propensities_file]

sequence_file : Input the name of your *.fasta file in the data directory containing the sequence.

propensities_file : Input the name of your *.txt file in the data directory containing custom propensities.

Note: If no propensities_file is called the default one will be used.

sequence.fasta, helix.fasta and sheet.fasta contain example proteins.
