Summary: ASAP is a web tool designed to search for specific dipeptides, tripeptides and tetrapeptides in a protein sequence database. The server allows for: (a) identification of frequent and infrequent peptides and the creation of peptide probability tables for a given database of sequences (GenerNet program), (b) determination of the compatibility of an amino-acid sequence to the given peptide probability tables (ClonErrNet program); and (c) comparison of different protein databases based on peptide composition (CompNet program). ASAP server can be useful in protein engineering and/or protein classification studies.
