HUHgle: An Interactive Substrate Design Tool for Covalent Protein-ssDNA Labeling Using HUH-Tags.

HUH-tags have emerged as versatile fusion partners that mediate sequence specific protein-ssDNA bioconjugation through a simple and efficient reaction. Here we present HUHgle, a python-based interactive tool for the visualization, design, and optimization of substrates for HUH-tag mediated covalent labeling of proteins of interest with ssDNA substrates of interest. HUHgle streamlines design processes by integrating an intuitive plotting interface with a search function capable of predicting and displaying protein-ssDNA bioconjugate formation efficiency and specificity in proposed HUH-tag/ssDNA sequence combinations.
