The protein sequence database was analyzed for evidence that some distinct sequence families might be distantly related in evolution by changes in frame of translation. Sequences were compared using special amino acid substitution matrices for the alternate frames of translation. The statistical sig

Compressibility is a property which characterizes the folded state of a globular protein critically. While the 20 amino acids themselves exhibit negative compressibility, the globular proteins exhibit positive compressibility. As the compressibility property of amino acids alone could not explain th
Root protein contents of 15 cassava varieties (Manihot esculenta Crantz) ranged from 5 to 19 g kg-' dry matter. Intervarietal differences in amino acid profiles of cassava roots were evident. Differences in the levels of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and arginine were most notable. The nitrogen-to-pr
A critical overview is given on the application of amino acid composition data for the establishment of the protein's identity (amino acids composition vs. protein identity, the AAC-PI method). Several criteria are used to measure the differences between the amino acid compositions of various protei
