MB

MB is a free multi-functional DNA/protein analysis program that is a must-have for anyone in the field. It is a comprehensive tool that combines all the features required for advanced molecular analysis of genomic/proteomic data. One of its significant advantages is its versatility, it can be used for multiple purposes.

The program includes many features, such as a fast restriction analysis algorithm which also caters for plasmid/linear DNA drawing, promoter analysis, calculation of molecular weights, and chemical properties of proteins, prediction of secondary protein structures (after Chou-Fasman). Protein analysis also features sequence translation and codon usage table calculation to aid researchers in their work.

Other features of MB include a hierarchical multiple sequence alignment tool, allowing for the comparison of secondary structure of proteins, phylogenetic tree building, dot plot, estimation of isoelectric point for proteins, and primer design. For the researchers interested in alpha helices, there is a tool for structural analysis included in the main package.

Overall, MB is the ideal solution for DNA/protein analysis, with its comprehensive features, easy usability and availability. This program is definitely worth it.
