ABSTRACT:
A computer program that progressively evaluates the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a protein along its amino acid sequence was devised. A hydropathy scale takes into consideration the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of each of the 20 amino acid side chains. Correlation was demonstrated between the plotted values and known structures detd. by crystallog.
