On the Bond Graphs in the Delaunay-Tetrahedra of the Simplicial Decomposition of Spatial Protein Structures
The examination of straightforwardly definable discrete structures in nucleic acids and proteins turned out to be perhaps the most important development in our present knowledge and understanding the their form and function. These discrete structures are sequences of nucleotides and amino acid residues, respectively. Bioinformatics was born as the science of analyzing these sequences. The discretization of the biological information into easy-to-handle sequences of 4 or 20 symbols made possible the application of deep mathematical, combinatorial and statistical tools with enormous success. The tools, resulting from this process, changed our perception of genetics, molecular biology, and life itself. Straightforward discrete structures can also be defined in the spatial descriptions of proteins and nucleic acids. The definition and examination of discrete objects, using the spatial structure of proteins instead of amino acid sequences would intercept spatial characteristics, that are...
