Analysis of similarity/dissimilarity of protein sequences

Proteins. 2008 Dec;73(4):864-71. doi: 10.1002/prot.22110.

Abstract

On the basis of a selected pair of physicochemical properties of amino acids, we introduce a dynamic 2D graphical representation of protein sequences. Then, we introduce and compare two numerical characterizations of protein graphs as descriptors to analyze the nine ND5 proteins. The approach is simple, convenient, and fast.
