Chameleon sequences-Structural effects.

ABSTRACT: The predisposition of amino acids towards accepting the appropriate secondary structure form is ambiguous. The identified sequences (6-12 aa in length - ChSeq data base) of the chameleon type (the same sequence accepting different secondary structures) constitute a puzzle that makes it difficult to indicate the initial conformation in a chain with a given amino acid sequence. The analysis of proteins presented in this paper uses the hydrophobicity distribution in protein body as the criterion for comaparable analysis of the status of helica/Beta-structural chameleon fragments in pairs of proteins. The sub-base is the object of analysis containg the proteins representing the organisation of hydrophobicity in one protein of the pair as ordered according to micelle-like organisation (hydropho
