NAME

   proftmb  -  per-residue  prediction  of  bacterial  transmembrane  beta
   barrels

SYNOPSIS

   proftmb [options]

DESCRIPTION

   proftmb predicts bacterial transmembrane  beta  barrels  from  sequence
   using profile fed Hidden Markov Models (HMM).

   Output format
   Self-annotating.   Letters of prediction: 'i' - inside cytoplasm, 'O' -
   outside cytoplasm, 'U' - up (on chain moving out of cytoplasm),  'D'  -
   down (on chain moving into cytoplasm).

EXAMPLES

    proftmb @/usr/share/proftmb/options -q /usr/share/doc/proftmb/examples/example.Q -o /tmp/example

   The  above  produces  3 output files: /tmp/example_proftmb_tabular.txt,
   /tmp/example_proftmb_pretty.txt  and   /tmp/example_dat.txt.    Compare
   these to the examples in /usr/share/doc/proftmb/examples.
