Abstract

In this study we present a novel bioinformatics software for the analysis of bioavailability of short amino acid peptides, in various proteins found across four phylogenetic kingdoms of Archaea, Bacteria, Mammals and Plants. In order to assess bioavailability of these peptides, we have used a set of large-scale protein databases from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, and the Basic Local Alignment Search Tools (BLAST+) search program. In our results we present the counts of peptides matches across the phylogenetic kingdoms, and also in further detail for Gram positive or negative bacteria. Our bioinformatics software is written in Python and is made available within this publication as freely available for academic and non-profit use.
