[Biojava-l] Isoelectric point and molecular weight calculations with BioJava

[George Waldon]

Hello Peter & Andreas

I effectively did some work on these methods, mostly fixing and adding  
the ExPASy algorithm that was kindly provided to me. I think it makes  
a lot of sense to port all physico-chemical property calculations  
related to amino acids and polypeptides to bj3, as suggested by  
Andreas, and I definitively support the effort. We could smoothly  
deprecate the bj1 package when this is done. Let me know how I could  
help.

Thanks
George
