What you can do: Design linker sequences for constructing functional fusion proteins.
Highlights:
  • The program automatically generates a set of peptide sequences that are known to adopt extended conformations as determined by X-ray crystallography and NMR.
  • In addition to the desired linker sequence length, the web interface provides a number of optional input parameters so that the users may enhance sequence selection based on the requirements of specific applications.
  • The output of LINKER includes a list of peptide sequences with specified length and sequence characteristics. A graphical subroutine was implemented to highlight the chemical features of every linker sequence by hydrophobicity plots.
Keywords:
