prokit 0.1.2

Lightweight Python library to fetch and analyze protein sequences from UniProt.

ProKit (Protein Analysis Library)

ProKit is a Python library to fetch and analyze protein sequences from UniProt.
It calculates molecular weight, hydrophobic ratio, and displays results in a neat, organized table.

---

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install prokit from prokit import Protein

Create a Protein object by specifying the protein name

p = Protein.from_name("Hemoglobin subunit beta")

Show summary table

p.show_summary() # Displays Name, Organism, Length, Molecular Weight, Hydrophobic Ratio

Available Properties and Methods

Property / Method	Description
p.sequence	Full protein sequence as a string
p.name	Protein name
p.organism	Source organism of the protein
p.molecular_weight()	Calculates and returns the molecular weight
p.hydrophobic_ratio()	Calculates and returns the fraction of hydrophobic residues
