◆ acidic()

static double acidic ( char  aa)
inlinestatic

Returns if the residue is acidic (1.0 or 0.0)

◆ aliphatic()

static double aliphatic ( char  aa)
inlinestatic

Returns if the residue is aliphatic (1.0 or 0.0)

◆ basic()

static double basic ( char  aa)
inlinestatic

Returns if the residue is basic (1.0 or 0.0)

◆ calculateGB()

static double calculateGB ( const AASequence seq,
double  T = 500.0 
)
inlinestatic

Calculates an estimated gas-phase basicity for an amino acid sequence at a given temperature.

Energy level E at each protonation site i is -GB(i) fractional proton population of a microstate k is
P_k = exp (- E_k/(RT)) / ( sum_i exp (- E_i/(RT)))
The apparent proton association constant K_app: K_app = sum_i GB(i)/(RT)
Then the apparent GB is GB_app^ion = R * T * ln(K_app)
