How To Install disulfinder on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install disulfinder on Kali Linux.

What is disulfinder

disulfinder is:

‘disulfinder’ is for predicting the disulfide bonding state of cysteines and their disulfide connectivity starting from sequence alone. Disulfide bridges play a major role in the stabilization of the folding process for several proteins. Prediction of disulfide bridges from sequence alone is therefore useful for the study of structural and functional properties of specific proteins. In addition, knowledge about the disulfide bonding state of cysteines may help the experimental structure determination process and may be useful in other genomic annotation tasks.

‘disulfinder’ predicts disulfide patterns in two computational stages: (1) the disulfide bonding state of each cysteine is predicted by a BRNN-SVM binary classifier; (2) cysteines that are known to participate in the formation of bridges are paired by a Recursive Neural Network to obtain a connectivity pattern.

There are three methods to install disulfinder on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install disulfinder Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install disulfinder using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install disulfinder

Install disulfinder Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install disulfinder using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install disulfinder

Install disulfinder Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install disulfinder using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install disulfinder

How To Uninstall disulfinder on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the disulfinder package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove disulfinder

Uninstall disulfinder And Its Dependencies

To uninstall disulfinder and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove disulfinder

Remove disulfinder Configurations and Data

To remove disulfinder configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge disulfinder

Remove disulfinder configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove disulfinder configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge disulfinder

Dependencies

disulfinder have the following dependencies:

• libc6
• libgcc-s1
• libstdc++6
• disulfinder-data
