Hidden Thermodynamic Information in Protein Amino Acid Mutation Tables
We combine the standard 1992 20x20 substitution matrix based on block alignment, BLOSUM62, with the standard 1982 amino acid hydropathicity scale KD as well as the modern 2007 hydropathicity scale MZ, and compare the results. The 20-parameter KD and MZ hydropathicity scales have different thermodynamic character, corresponding to first and second order transitions. The KD and MZ comparisons show that the mutation rates reflect quantitative iteration of qualitative amino acid phobic and philic binary 2x10 properties that define quaternary 4x5 subgroups (but not quinary 5x4 subgroups), with the modern MZ bioinformatic scale giving much better results. The quaternary 5 mer MZ 4x5 subgroups are called mutons (Mu5).

We study four citrate synthase homodimeric proteins within a structure-based coarse-grained model. Two of these proteins come from thermophilic bacteria, one from a cryophilic bacterium and one from a mesophilic organism…
Lattice protein design using Bayesian learning
Protein design is the inverse approach of the three-dimensional (3D) structure prediction for elucidating the relationship between the 3D structures and amino acid sequences. In general, the computation of the protein de…
