Predicting the Types of J-Proteins Using Clustered Amino Acids
Figure 1
Statistical results to show the divergent distributions of the 20 amino acids among the four (I, II, III, and IV) types of J-proteins. The green boxes indicate that the frequency differences among different types of J-proteins are not significant. The blue boxes indicate that the amino acid is significantly enriched (; LSD test) in one type of J-proteins compared with its counterpart. Taking W as an example, the blue box with the coordinate (W, I–IV) indicates that W is enriched in Type I J-proteins compared with Type IV J-proteins. The red boxes indicate that the amino acid is lacking in one type of J-proteins but significantly enriched (; LSD-test) in its counterpart. Also taking W as the example, the two red boxes with the coordinates (W, I–III) and (W, II-III) indicate that W is lacking in both Type I and Type II J-proteins compared with Type III J-proteins, respectively.
