How to calculate the GRAVY score for peptides with cysteines modified by iodoacetamide or methyl methanethiosulfonate?

09 September 2016 0 10K Report

I’m wondering if it is feasible to easy calculate the GRAVY score for a peptide where cysteine is modified by carbamidomethylation or thiomethylation.
