The Effect of Edge Definition of Complex Networks on Protein Structure Identification

Figure 1

The amino acid residues interaction network. PDB code 1BZ7, chain A. The 3D structure of which is shown above together with its side, top and upward view. Here, the vertex is defined as , and the edge is - distances which is set at 7.5 Å. Each point in the figure represents an amino acid in the chain, which is also the vertex of the network. Ligatures between the vertices are the edge of the network, which illustrate the interaction between the amino acids. For contrasting the figure of community division with this complex network, each vertex is colored based on its identity in SCOP. Here, reddish purple and blue represent different domain regions in this chain.
