[Biojava-l] Isoelectric point and molecular weight calculations with BioJava

[Peter Troshin]

Hi Andreas,

In fact I'd be happy to help with the development of the tools for 
simple physico-chemical properties calculation for peptides. We could 
port George’s code (assuming he is happy with this) from BioJava 1.8 but 
we can also provide a few other methods. A couple of projects in the lab 
where I work would have benefited from having these calculations readily 
available.

I was thinking about participation in the Google Summer of Code (GoSC) 
this year as a mentor, and I think this would be an easy project for a 
student. What do you think about this?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Regards,
Peter
