Application MitoProt II First Release October 1996 Last Update December 2006 Version 1.101 Description It supplies a series of parameters that permit theoretical evaluation on mitochondrial targeting sequences and the importability. Finally, it provides the possibility to predict mitochondrial proteins harbouring targeting sequences. Authors Mac version -> Manuel G. Claros (claros@uma.es) Unix version -> Pierre Vincens (vincens@biologie.ens.fr) Literature M.G. Claros, P. Vincens. "Computational method to predict mitochondrial proteins and their targeting sequences". Eur. J. Biochem., (1996) 241, 779-786. Notes 1- MitoProt II is available as a "basic" application, or as a "rapid" one. The rapid one needs 68020 processor, or later, and FPU. Both need system 6.0.2 or later. Older system versions have not been assayed, but perhaps do work well too. 2- A version for unix machines is also available without using the graphic cabapilities. 3- A mail server is available to test a sequence sending a message with the sequence to mitoprot@biologie.ens.fr You can send a message with help in the body to obtain instrutions. MitoProt II has been designed for Macintosh computers, using THINK Pascal 4.0.2. For unix machines it has been designed in ADA95 using the Gnat compiler.
