Predicted General Properties of the Lyoszyme Protein  (Homo sapiens) - Primary Sequence Analysis (with ProtParam)b

Number of amino acids: 148

Molecular weight: 16537.0

Theoretical pI: 9.38

Total number of negatively charged residues (Asp + Glu): 11

Total number of positively charged residues (Arg + Lys): 20

Atomic composition: Carbon C 719 Hydrogen H 1146 Nitrogen N 220 Oxygen O 207 Sulfur S 11

Formula: C719H1146N220O207S11

Total number of atoms: 2303

Extinction coefficients: Extinction coefficients are in units of M-1 cm-1, at 280 nm measured in water. Ext. coefficient 36940 Abs 0.1% (=1 g/l) 2.234, assuming ALL Cys residues appear as half cystines Ext. coefficient 36440 Abs 0.1% (=1 g/l) 2.204, assuming NO Cys residues appear as half cystines

Estimated half-life: The N-terminal of the sequence considered is M (Met). The estimated half-life is: 30 hours (mammalian reticulocytes, in vitro). >20 hours (yeast, in vivo). >10 hours (Escherichia coli, in vivo).

Instability index: The instability index (II) is computed to be 27.71 This classifies the protein as stable.

Aliphatic index: 85.68

Grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY): -0.195
