The predictions for eight SARS-CoV membrane proteins indicate that MSCWT has the same capacity with software TMpred. In this paper, MSCWT was proposed to predict TMHs of membrane proteins. MSCWT of a signal could be obtained from the following steps: firstly, choose an appreciated mother wavelet and an appreciated scale range to perform CWT; then, detect and record the CWT maximum at every translation; finally, plot the recorded maximum value to its position (translation). Figure 1 shows the TMHs predicted by MSCWT and TMpred for SARS-CoV protein Orf9 and Orf14. MSCWT has the highest accuracy rate of membrane protein sequence (84.6%), while TMpred and DAS are 75.4% and 80.0%, respectively. In this paper, the proposed new method MSCWT shows a good efficiency in predicting the positions and amounts of TMHs of membrane protein.	./cache/cord-316745-n10ia3j3.txt	./txt/cord-316745-n10ia3j3.txt
