intro, R2R STATS • 11 viruses are used. • Residue 2 residue statistics are collected if any non-hydrogen atoms within each residue are within 3.5 Å of each other. • Statistics are ONLY collected for interactions of residues within the same protein of the viral capsid. • All viruses used have icosahedral symmetry. • A protein was used to collect statistics if it was a protein within the “identity” subunit.
Distances, Cα • If two residues are neighbors then the distance between their Cα atoms was calculated. • These distances were tabulated by residue-residue type and their average and standard deviation were found.
Distances, Cα: AVERAGE nmin = 23 nmax = 178
Distances, Cα: NSET tot # of data points =14827
intro, SASA • 11 viruses are used. • The SASA is calculated for every atom using the LCPO method (J Comp Chem, 22, 2, 217-230, 1999). • The LCPO method occasionally gives a negative SASA, if this occurred the SASA for that atom was set to zero. • Each residue is then assigned a SASA value based on the sum of the SASA’s of the atoms in that residue. • These values are then tabulated into averages, and standard deviations for each residue type.
intro, SASA • Side Note: • When calculating the neighbor map for the LCPO algorithm on atom i only atoms that were on the same molecule of atom i were used as neighbors of atoms i. • This has the effect of finding not whether an atom is buried inside a viral capsid but rather it is buried within its own protein.
SASA: Conclusion • The general trend of the average seems to imply that the more hydrophilic an amino acid is the higher its SASA is going to be. • However, from the large standard deviations and the evidence given by the histograms this trend should probably not be taken as an absolute.
