โฆ Synopsis
New computational models of natural site mutations are developed that account for the different selective pressures acting on different locations in the protein. The number of adjustable parameters is greatly reduced by basing the models on the underlying physical-chemical properties of the amino acids. This allows us to use our method on small data sets built of specific protein types. We demonstrate that with this approach we can represent the evolutionary patterns in HIV envelope proteins far better than with more traditional methods. Proteins 32:289-295, 1998.

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a heterogeneous group of rare cornification diseases. Germline mutations in TGM1 are the most common cause of ARCI in the United States. TGM1 encodes for the TGase-1 enzyme that functions in the formation of the cornified cell envelope. Structurall
Models of fuel-nitrogen release in pulverized-coal flames are developed to account for (1) the occurrence of parallel heterogeneous and homogeneous coal-N removal and (2) the release of coal-N by numerous different first-order reactions characterized by a normal distribution of activation energies.
