Abstract

In this contribution we introduced a novel graphical method to compare protein sequences. By mapping a protein sequence into 3D space based on codons and physicochemical properties of 20 amino acids, we are able to get a unique P -vector from the 3D curve. This approach is consistent with wobble theory of amino acids. We compute the distance between sequences by their P -vectors to measure similarities/dissimilarities among protein sequences. Finally, we use our method to analyze four datasets and get better results compared with previous approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
