Abstract

Protein sequences of the Dayhoff databank of 1984 have been analyzed to evaluate the occurrences of the 400 dipeptides and 8000 tripeptides. Expected values and standard deviations for the di- and tripeptides were determined by Monte Carlo and binomial approximation. A condensed format containing this information, labeled a uniqueness diagram, is presented and made available in the form of a microfiche.
