Is there an open source tool the measures the GRAVY index of a peptide incorporating the PTMs and unusual amino acids (e.g. hydroxyproline)?

Right now, I am using ProtParam to compute GRAVY index of peptides. However, some of my peptides are post-translationally modified, and contains unusual amino acids. I assume that ProtParam does...

What do you mean by 'excitation' of a plasma wave? What is the physical significance of this 'excitation'? Why is it necessary?

I have read numerous research papers on various mechanisms of excitation of surface plasma wave. But why do we need to excite a wave? Is it necessary? Can't the wave propagate without being excited?

Theoretical biomass potential: It is the total annual production of the agricultural biomass in a region. The theoretical biomass was calculated by the following equation; TBP = R(i) × P(i)

In this equation P(i) indicate the total annual production (tons) of the crop in a region. R(i) is for the residue-to-product ratio.

Available biomass potential:

ABP = R(i) × P(i) × A(i)

availability factor A(i) for a particular crop residue.

other than that you can follow (Sharma, A. (2013). Biomass estimation and methodology.)

Made a questionnaire

Betina Cardoso

Hello, I am writing to you from Argentina. Here and in Mexico biomass can be measured with the WISDOM method: Woodfuel Integrated Supply/Demand Overview Mapping.

Thanks @Betina

Can you give me some materials to guide my research using the WISDOM model. If there can be class or online tool to learn the model. Thanks.

I do not work with wisdom, my advice is to look for information, there are articles by researchers who work with this method. Requires GIS knowledge.

Thanks again @Betina
