Mathematical Characterization of Protein Transmembrane Regions

Figure 2

Decagonal isometries matrix . (a) and (b) show correspondance between group elements and amino acids and indicate the initial step of coding. Decagons below show the explicit transformation for the given step (WW → WWN) and the resultant DIM (c). The 20-dimensional vector constructed from the matrix is used as a descriptor to numerically characterize the protein sequence (d).
