## Synopsis Transmembrane (TM) regions of receptor proteins should have unique structural and/or chemical characteristics if these regions contain residues functional in TM signal transduction. However, in a survey of the membrane-occurring residues in 37 integral membrane proteins, we found that
Prediction of transmembrane beta-strands in outer membrane proteins (OMP) is one of the important problems in computational chemistry and biology. In this work, we propose a method based on neural networks for identifying the membrane-spanning beta-strands. We introduce the concept of "residue proba
