Open protein files in project directory

[Menu-bar>Protein>File>Import proteins and alignments] The file selector shows the protein files of the current project directory. They are ordered in different lists according the file endings. Protein files can be selected and loaded into STRAP by double clicking or with the button DialogProjectFiles#BUT_LAB_Load. Multiple selections are possible with the keys CTRL (same as STRG) and SHIFT.

Drag-And-Drop: The file selector is capable of : Files from the native file browser or desktop can be dragged into the file selector or into to the STRAP alignment panel (see See http://www.bioinformatics.org/strap/dragProteinLink.html).

Alternative directories: In the choice menu at the top a number of other folders can be chosen. For example a local mirror of the PDB-file collection may given.

Flags: The flags g,s,3 and n which precede the file names indicate the existence of gaps, residue-annotations, 3D coordinate transformations and nucleotide reading frames, respectively.

Multiple sequence files with the ending .msf or .clustalw contain the aligned sequences of several proteins: : .

Customization: The list of file endings and the list of alternative directories can be altered.

File formats: Many * file formats are recognized: , nk, , , EMBL. See http://www.molecularevolution.org/mbl/resources/fileformats/. The file text is analyzed and the file type identified without considered the name of the file. If no appropriate protein file type is detected then the sequences is formed from the letters in the file.
