These types of experiments, however, are complicated by both enormous conformational complexity and by large numbers of possible sequences. We present and apply a statistically based, computational approach for identifying the properties of sequences compatible with a given main chain structure. The method yields the likelihood of each of the amino acids at preselected positions in a given protein structure. The theory may be used to quantify the characteristics of sequence space for a chosen structure without explicitly tabulating sequences. We apply the method to consider the energetic separation of a target structure from other possible structures and to identity the monomer probabilities at selected positions of the immunoglobulin light chain-binding domain of protein L, for which many variant folding sequences are available. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9708275-3-9 |
