We present here a computational method based on the analysis of amino acid composition for performing comparisons between proteins. This user-friendly and reliable test is aimed at rapidly identifying, from data-base subsets, sequences--if necessary, partial sequences--which share similar amino acid compositions to the input composition (deduced from experimental results). Apparent molecular weight (as determined by SDS-PAGE) and artefactual modifications due to the experimental determination of the amino acid composition are taken into account to perform the comparison. This program thus constitutes a useful tool in searching for the probable identification of either nonsequenced proteins or peptides from hydrolysed proteins.
