pmw {seqinr} | R Documentation |
With default parameter values, returns the apparent molecular weight of one mole (6.0221415 e+23) of the input protein expressed in gram at see level on Earth with terrestrial isotopic composition.
pmw(seqaa, Ar = c(C = 12.0107, H = 1.00794, O = 15.9994, N = 14.0067, P = 30.973762, S = 32.065), gravity = 9.81, unit = "gram", checkseqaa = TRUE)
seqaa |
a protein sequence as a vector of single chars. Allowed values are "*ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY", non allowed values are ignored. |
Ar |
a named vector for the mean relative atomic masses of CHONPS atoms. Defaults values are from to the natural terrestrial sources according to the 43rd IUPAC General Assembly in Beijing, China in August 2005 (See http://www.iupac.org/reports/periodic_table/ for updates). |
gravity |
gravitational field constant in standard units. Defaults to 9.81 m/s2, that is to the average value at see level on Earth. Negative values are not allowed. |
unit |
a string that could be "gram" to get the result in grams (1 g = 0.001 kg) or "N" to get the result in Newton units (1 N = 1 kg.m/s2). |
checkseqaa |
if TRUE pmw() warns if a non-allowed character in seqaa is found. |
The protein molecular weight as a single numeric value.
