AAdescriptor: AAdescriptor: Descriptor encoding of amino acids

In Interpol: Interpolation of amino acid sequences

Description

Encodes amino acids into numerical values using descriptors.

Usage

AAdescriptor(data, descriptor = 151, normalize = 0)

Arguments

data	vector of protein sequences (as characters)
descriptor	descriptor to be used (range 1-532)
normalize	0: no normalization; 1:[-1,1]; 2:[0,1]

Value

returns the encoded (and normalized) amino acid sequences.
