extractPAAC: Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PseAAC) Descriptor

Description

This function calculates the Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PseAAC) descriptor (dim: 20 + lambda, default is 50).

Usage

extractPAAC(
  x,
  props = c("Hydrophobicity", "Hydrophilicity", "SideChainMass"),
  lambda = 30,
  w = 0.05,
  customprops = NULL
)

Value

A length 20 + lambda named vector

Arguments

x

A character vector, as the input protein sequence.

props

A character vector, specifying the properties used. 3 properties are used by default, as listed below:

'Hydrophobicity'

Hydrophobicity value of the 20 amino acids

'Hydrophilicity'

Hydrophilicity value of the 20 amino acids

'SideChainMass'

Side-chain mass of the 20 amino acids

lambda

The lambda parameter for the PseAAC descriptors, default is 30.

w

The weighting factor, default is 0.05.

customprops

A n x 21 named data frame contains n customized property. Each row contains one property. The column order for different amino acid types is 'AccNo', 'A', 'R', 'N', 'D', 'C', 'E', 'Q', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'L', 'K', 'M', 'F', 'P', 'S', 'T', 'W', 'Y', 'V', and the columns should also be exactly named like this. The AccNo column contains the properties' names. Then users should explicitly specify these properties with these names in the argument props. See the examples below for a demonstration. The default value for customprops is NULL.
