Start guide

Submit a Protein parameters job and view its results.

This guide walks through one analysis with Protein parameters. You will paste a short example sequence, submit a job, and check its results. You do not need to install software or prepare a file.

Set up your workspace

A workspace holds your jobs, saved files, members, and credits. Create an account or sign in, then open ProteinIQ.

New accounts receive a personal workspace named My Workspace. If you are joining a lab or team, use the account menu in the sidebar to check Current workspace and switch to the workspace you intend to use. Your selection determines where the job is saved and which credit balance it uses.

Joining an existing workspace

You need an owner, admin, or member role to submit a job. Viewers can inspect results but cannot run analyses.

Add an example sequence

Protein parameters calculates properties from a protein sequence and returns a table. It gives you a small, straightforward example of the job and result flow.

Open Protein parameters.
Set Job name to My first analysis.
Under Protein sequence input, select FASTA and paste both lines below.

Text

>onboarding_demo
ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY

This is a synthetic, 20-residue sequence for learning the interface. The line beginning with > names the sequence; the next line contains the amino acid letters. Keep the name and sequence on separate lines.

Review the cost and submit

The credit amount beside the submit button updates for your input. Check it after entering the sequence. Your workspace must have enough credits and an available job allowance before the run can start.

Click Submit job. If you see Sign in to run, sign in first.

The job records your input and settings. You can follow its progress on the tool page or open Results from the sidebar. A submitted job runs on ProteinIQ, so you can leave the page and return later.

Check the output

When the job completes, the output contains one table row for onboarding_demo. Check that the sequence length is 20. The table also includes molecular weight, theoretical pI, and other sequence properties.

Use the output panel's download control to export the data. This example teaches the interface; use your research sequence for an analysis you intend to interpret.

If the run fails, read the error shown with the job before submitting again.

Reopen a job

Open Results in the same workspace and select My first analysis to reopen the run. You can also use the tool's History view to return to jobs from that tool.

Results remain attached to the job. The Files library is a separate place for files you upload or explicitly save from supported result file lists. Downloading a table does not automatically add it to that library.

For your own analysis, browse Tools and check the chosen tool's accepted inputs, settings, output descriptions, and credit cost. The submission pattern is shared, but each tool has its own scientific requirements.
