Physicochemical data
Formula, masses and identifiers from PubChem where a record exists, checked against an independent RDKit calculation and, for peptides, against the residue sequence. Theoretical pI, net charge at pH 7.4, GRAVY and the 280 nm extinction coefficient are calculated with Biopython ProtParam on the residue chain (Bjellqvist pK set; Kyte-Doolittle; Gill and von Hippel) and are marked "calculated"; they are not given where the chain contains non-proteinogenic residues.
