Analysis of core-periphery organization in protein contact networks reveals groups of structurally and functionally critical residues.

Abstract excerpt

The representation of proteins as networks of interacting amino acids, referred to as protein contact networks (PCN), and their subsequent analyses using graph theoretic tools, can provide novel insights into the key functional roles of specific groups of residues. We have characterized the networks corresponding to the native states of 66 proteins (belonging to different families) in terms of their...
