Comparative Analysis of Barophily-Related Amino Acid Content in Protein Domains of Pyrococcus abyssi and Pyrococcus furiosus

Figure 6

MAA analysis of matching FSF domains within pairs of homologous sequences confirms significant preferences of the barophilic organism for Arg and Asp and a preference of the nonbarophilic organism for Tyr, Lys, and Asn. Other barophilic and nonbarophilic amino acids do not display a significant difference in use. Statistical significance is marked with stars as described in Figure 2. A total of 241 matching FSFs were analyzed.
