Abstract:

We consider a novel approach to mathematically define a graphing method to represent amino acid sequences of proteins in two-dimensional plane and characterize them numerically. The amino acids are represented by their relative magnitude of their hydrophobicity. Each amino acid is compared with a vector and moves in relative direction which generates a graph. Applications are shown in Zaire Ebola Virus to conclude how this plotting can be more useful than base sequence plotting. Also, superimposition graph of SARS and SARS-CoV-2 shows that these sequences are strongly related and Various other applications are shown too to explain it's fruitfulness.

Graphical Representation of Proteins

Hi Dear Authors

Do believe that graphical representation of proteins could be generalized in a near future for comparative sequence analysis as traditional alignments do? or to improve them? Thanks in advance
