I was unaware of the "Poland service". Then again, I
haven't been working on denaturation problems recently. Thanks for
the link.<br><br>
Drs. Blake and Delcourt may be aware of it. Looking at the
references, they are cited. Richard Blake is the PI for the MeltSim
project.<br><br>
Considering the programs use the 1974 Poland algorithm, the 1977
Fixman-Friere approximation, and the 1998 Blake-Delcourt parameters, they
probably give similar results. It would be interesting to see a
comparison.<br><br>
Programatically, they use different languages: Pascal/Delphi for MeltSim,
and FORTRAN 77 for the "Poland service". I've been hoping
to write a command-line version in C.<br><br>
Regarding your problem inputting a text sequence, I'm happy to help. The
sequence needs to be in plain text and unanotated. If you're using
a FASTA file, you need to remove the header.<br><br>

Is the Meltsim similar to this site since it use the same paper ?<br>
I have downloaded it and have some trouble input the seq. as text - Can
you give me some advice?<br>
Thanks<br><br>
