Abstract: | The analysis of primary sequences from a protein sequence data base suggests that the sequences can be considered as examples
of constrained random fractals. Fractal dimensions of the positional distributions of the 20 residues along the chain have
been calculated. These fractal dimensions can be used as indices of intrinsic preferences of various residues. |
