Heuristic molecular lipophilicity potential (HMLP): Lipophilicity and hydrophilicity of amino acid side chains
: Heuristic molecular lipophilicity potential (HMLP) is applied in the study of lipophilicity and hydrphilcity of 20 natural amino acids side chains. The HMLP parameters, surface a...

Predicting residue contacts using pragmatic correlated mutations method: reducing the false positives
Background: Predicting residues' contacts using primary amino acid sequence alone is an important task that can guide 3D structure modeling and can verify the quality of the ...

Protein disorder prediction by condensed PSSM considering propensity for order or disorder
Background: More and more disordered regions have been discovered in protein sequences, and many of them are found to be functionally significant. Previous studies reveal that dis...

Use of a multi-way method to analyze the amino acid composition of a conserved group of orthologous proteins in prokaryotes
Background: Amino acids in proteins are not used equally. Some of the differences in the amino acid composition of proteins are between species (mainly due to nucleotide compositi...

Mining prokaryotic genomes for unknown amino acids: a stop-codon-based approach
Background: Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine are the 21st and 22nd amino acids, which are genetically encoded by stop codons. Since a number of microbial genomes have been completel...

A model-independent approach to infer hierarchical codon substitution dynamics
Background: Codon substitution constitutes a fundamental process in molecular biology that has been studied extensively. However, prior studies rely on various assumptions, e.g. r...

Amino acid "little Big Bang": Representing amino acid substitution matrices as dot products of Euclidian vectors
Background: Sequence comparisons make use of a one-letter representation for amino acids, the necessary quantitative information being supplied by the substitution matrices. This ...

Finding coevolving amino acid residues using row and column weighting of mutual information and multi-dimensional amino acid rep
Background: Some amino acid residues functionally interact with each other. This interaction will result in an evolutionary co-variation between these residues – coevolution. Ou...

Genetic Code as a Gray Code Revisited
In this paper we revisit the idea of relating the genetic code to a Gray code. This idea was originally fostered by Rosemary Swanson as a “unifying concept for the amino acid co...
