digest is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the "Protein:Motifs" command group(s).
-seqall seqall
-mwdata datafile
Molecular weight data for amino acids Default value: Emolwt.dat
-menu list
Default value: 1
-mono boolean
Default value: N
-unfavoured boolean
Trypsin will not normally cut after 'KR' if they are followed by any of 'KRIFLP'. Lys-C will not normally cut after 'K' if it is followed by 'P'. Arg-C will not normally cut after 'R' if it is followed by 'P'. V8-bicarb will not normally cut after 'E' if it is followed by any of 'KREP'. V8-phosph will not normally cut after 'DE' if they are followed by 'P'. Chymotrypsin will not normally cut after 'FYWLM' if they are followed by 'P'. Specifying unfavoured shows these unfavoured cuts as well as the favoured ones.
-ragging boolean
Allows semi-specific and non-specific digestion. This option is particularly useful for generating lists of peptide sequences for protein identification using mass-spectrometry.
-termini list
Default value: 1
-overlap boolean
Used for partial digestion. Shows all cuts from favoured cut sites plus 1..3, 2..4, 3..5 etc but not (e.g.) 2..5. Overlaps are therefore fragments with exactly one potential cut site within it.
-allpartials boolean
As for overlap but fragments containing more than one potential cut site are included.
-outfile report
Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).
digest is fully documented via the tfm(1) system.
