Translation and molecular weight calculator.

To find out the amino acid sequence of gene or ORF feature use Analysis>Translate. It will open a window of molecular weight calculator with proposed protein sequence in three letter code. It also shows the Protein molecular weight. Both sequence and weight can be copied by using item "Copy" of a context menu. The protein sequence in the Molecular weight calculator can be edited and new peptide molecular mass may be recalculated by pressing "Calculate" button.

The window of Molecular weight calculator can be called from menu Tools>Dalton Calc. It can be used for analysis of sequences obtained outside Gene Studio. Molecular weight calculator can estimate molecular weight of protein by its sequence presented by one or three letter code. To do it put the mark next to "Protein" and check the "One letter code check box" if sequence is in one letter format. Input or paste sequence into text area and press "Calculate" to see result. To calculate the molecular weight of DNA put the mark against "DNA", input sequence and press Calculate. To calculate the molecular weight of DNA uses the formula 649*"Number of base pairs". The sequence of protein/DNA can be pasted using "Paste" item of a context menu.
