aa_prop: Amino acid properties.

aa_propR Documentation

Amino acid properties.

Description

A dataset containing several biochemical properties of amino acids.

Usage

aa_prop

Format

A data frame with 20 rows and 6 variables:

AA_1

Amino acid in one letter representation

AA_3

Amino acid in three letter representation

Polar

Woese et al.'s (1966) polar requirement is the slope of the line that results when $$\log(1 - RF)/RF$$ for free amino acids is plotted against the log mole fraction of water in pyridine solvent.

Hydropathy

Kyte and Doolittle's (1982) hydropathy is based on water-vapor transfer free energies, the interior-exterior distribution of amino acid side-chains, and the subjective judgment of the authors

Volume

Grantham's (1974) molecular volume of side chains is the residue volume minus a constant peptide volume.

Isoelectric

The values of isoelectric points were taken from Alff-Steinberger (1969).
