Abstract

We designed a web-based program, AveHAS, to determine and plot the average hydropathy, average amphipathicity and average similarity for a clustal X-derived multiple alignment of homologous protein sequences. This method is based on the TREEMOMENT and Hydro programs. It has a user-friendly interface, a convenient input format and an improved algorithm.
