[Distribution of amino acid residues in the primary protein structure]
Abstract:
The amino acid composition and sequence in primary structure of 180 proteins have been studied. It is shown that the distribution of amino acid residues is near to a random one, i.e. it is determined by the amino acid composition. The ratio between statistical and unique character of protein primary structures has been discussed. The amino acid sequence is suggested to be unique in fibrous proteins. In contrast the amino acid sequence in globular proteins is a statistical one. The statistical character of amino acids distribution in globular proteins explains the possibility of sensible text generation under the frame shift mutations, deletions and insertions.
