thumb|The protein module.
In this module, amino acid sequences (peptides/proteins) can be viewed, edited and annotated. It uses a sequence map as main display, and a multi-purpose overview display at the top.
Toolbar
Several functions and display options can be invoked in the tool bar:
Enter sequence
Open sequence
Save sequence
Print sequence
Undo
Cut
Copy
Paste
Plot (shows a plot within the sequence map)
Horizontal mode
Function display
The smaller display on the top can show several types of information:
DataShows some basic data that has been calculated from the sequenceDescriptionShows the sequence descriptionSchemeShows a ../DNA map/-like layout of the whole proteinAA weightShows a plot of the molecular weight of the individual amino acidsAA isoelectric pointShows a plot of the isoelectric point of the individual amino acidsHydrophobicityShows a plot of the local hydrophobicity of the amino acids nearbyChou-Fasman plotShows a detailed Chou-Fasman-plot
