Field Detail

_byteType

private byte _byteType

The type of this amino acid.

_fltSubstitutionProbability

private float _fltSubstitutionProbability

The probability that this amino acid will undergo substitution.

Constructor Detail

ByteAminoAcid

public ByteAminoAcid()

Default constructor for objects of type ByteAminoAcid. This constructor calls a more specific constructor with reasonable default values.

ByteAminoAcid

public ByteAminoAcid(char charType,
                     float fltSubstitutionProbability)

Constructor for objects of type ByteAminoAcid given a type (encoded as a char) and a substitution probability. The provided character is converted to a byte using the AATranslator class.

Parameters:

charType - the desired type for the new AminoAcid, encoded as a character..

fltSubstitutionProbability - the desired substitution probability for the new AminoAcid.

See Also:

AATranslator.getByte(char)

ByteAminoAcid

public ByteAminoAcid(byte byteType,
                     float fltSubstitutionProbability)

Constructor for objects of type ByteAminoAcid given a type (encoded as a byte) and a substitution probability.

Parameters:

byteType - the desired type for the new AminoAcid, encoded as a byte..

fltSubstitutionProbability - the desired substitution probability for the new AminoAcid.

Method Detail

getSubstitutionProbability

public float getSubstitutionProbability()

Description copied from interface: AminoAcid
