Mutation matrices and physical-chemical properties: correlations and implications.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate how the properties of individual amino acids result in proteins with particular structures and functions, we have examined the correlations between previously derived structure-dependent mutation rates and changes in various physical-chemical properties of the amino acids such as volume, charge, alpha-helical and beta-sheet propensity, and hydrophobicity. In most cases we found the delta G of...
