摘要: Abstract : In an accompanying paper by Minervini et al., we deal with the scientific problem of studying sequence to structure relationships in “never born proteins” (NBPs), i.e. protein sequences which have never been observed nature. The study structural and functional properties "never proteins" requires generation a large library characterized absence any significant similarity all known sequences. this describe implementation simple command-line software utility used generate random amino acid filter them against NCBI non redundant database, using as threshold value Evalue parameter returned well comparison Blast. This utility, named RandomBlast, has written C programming language for Windows operating systems. implications NBPs composition are discussed compared natural proteins comparable length.
