Editing domains

A domain in BioEddie is defined as a continuous stretch of peptide monomers or nucleotides in a single sequence component. It an be used to annotate any functionally or structurally distinguished region of a given sequence.

Load the sequence of interest

• Move your mouse cursor over a sequence until the component (not a monomer or bond) of interest is highlighted then double click

• Sequence Editor will pop-up for further actions

• In the section for domains, click on "+ Add New"

• Add a name for the domain

• Enter the position of the first and the last sequence residue in the domain

• Click on "Done" to complete the addition

• Add more domains if required to the same sequence by repeating the steps above

• Please note, that any sequence residue can only be part of one domain, i.e. overlapping domains are not supported.

By default a domain displayed on the canvas view in expanded state. The name (if provided) is visible inside the frame of the domain.

A selected domain can be collapsed or expanded by using the and buttons.
