Re^7: calculation of charged amino acids

    As marto said, I've already posted the code, and the example, and it works for me. Unless you tell me what results you're getting, I'm afraid I won't know how to alter the code. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not psychic.

    The only thing I can think of is that your fasta file might not have spaces between the entries. If that is the issue then this should work:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; my $file = $ARGV[0]; my @currentProtein; my %protein; open (FASTA, "<", $file) || die "Can't open $file\n"; my $fastaLine; my $protSequence; while (<FASTA>) { #print STDERR "$_"; chomp; if (($_ !~ /^>/) && ($_ =~ /\w/)) { push (@currentProtein, $_); } if ((/^>/) || (eof)) { if ((@currentProtein > 0) || (eof)) { $protSequence = join("", @currentProtein); $protein{$fastaLine} = $protSequence; @currentProtein = (); } $fastaLine = $_ if $_ =~ /\w/; } } close FASTA; foreach my $key (sort(keys %protein)) { my $count_of_acidic = 0; my $count_of_basic = 0; my $count_of_neutral = 0; my $aa; my $sequence = "$protein{$key}"; $sequence =~ s/\s//g; my @prot=split("",$sequence); #splits string into an array #print " \nThe original PROTEIN file is:\n$sequence \n"; while(@prot) { $aa = shift (@prot); if($aa =~/[DNEQ]/ig) { $count_of_acidic++; } if($aa=~/[KRH]/ig) { $count_of_basic++; } if($aa=~/[DNEQKRH]/ig) { $count_of_neutral++; } } print "\nName: $key\n"; print "Number of acidic amino acids:".$count_of_acidic."\n"; print "Number of basic amino acids:".$count_of_basic."\n"; print "Number of neutral amino acids:".$count_of_neutral."\n"; }

    Apart from that, as much as I might like to help you, I simply can't unless I know what the problem is, not just that there is a problem.

      yeah my fasta file doesnot contain spaces. Thanks...Now it is working :)

        Thanks be to St. Larry.
