Abstract

In this paper, we present a tool to calculate the distribution of amino acid contacts in proteins as well as in protein domains. The proteins are grouped according to the classification by Yanay Ofran and Burkhard Rost[1]. In addition, a protein's distribution was compared with that of proteins in the same group as well as the entire collection of proteins across all groups. With these statistics, biologists can pick out proteins which have characteristics that defer from the norm.
