A Topological Description of Hubs in Amino Acid Interaction Networks
Figure 6
Each time a hub interacts, we add one to its occurrence score and then deduce an occurrence probability for the amino acids to act as a hub in an SSE-IN. We repeat the process grouping the SSE-INs by their family and also by their structural class. The probability of an amino acid Ala being a hub is the stronger independently of the protein classifications.
