Abstract excerpt
To understand the information encoded in an amino-acid sequence, the authors have attempted to simplify the amino-acid sequence of photoactive yellow protein (PYP) with a set of simple rules. The rules are designed to reduce overlapping structural information. The simplified PYP protein, which was composed of only nine species of amino acids (Ser, Val, Asp, Lys, Phe, Met, Gly, Pro, and Cys), took a completely...
