Abstract
The mutation trend and pattern in protein are currently studied directly using amino acid sequence, however, it would be more efficient if the amino acid sequence is transferred into other domains through quantification because sophisticated mathematical tools can be applied to a numeric sequence. In this study, we apply the amino-acid pair predictability to quantifying the human androgen receptor with its 215 missense point mutations to analyze which amino-acid pairs are sensitive to mutations. The results show that 94.88% mutations occurred at the unpredictable amino-acid pairs, 79% mutations targeted at one or two original amino-acid pairs whose actual frequency is larger than predicted frequency and 63.26% mutations lead to one or two mutated amino-acid pairs with their actual frequency smaller than predicted one.

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
