Analysis of insertions/deletions in protein structures.

Abstract excerpt

An analysis of insertions and deletions (indels) occurring in a databank of multiple sequence alignments based on protein tertiary structure is reported. Indels prefer to be short (1 to 5 residues). The average intervening sequence length between them versus the percentage of residue identity in pairwise alignments shows an exponential behaviour, suggesting a stochastic process such that nearly every loop in an...
