Strong Cation Exchange Elution Time Prediction Utility

The SCX Prediction Utility can be used to compute the predicted strong cation exchange (SCX) fraction (on a 0 to 1 scale) in which a given peptide will appear. The software reads the peptides from a text file containing one peptide sequence on each line. The output file includes the peptide sequence plus the predicted SCX elution time value, using a normalized elution time scale of 0 to 1.

Note that the NET Prediction Utility includes the ability to compute predicted SCX fraction values, while also supporting several other prediction algorithms. See the References section for the relevant publications that describe this algorithms.
