Use of vectors in sequence analysis.
Applications of the vector diagram, a new type of representation of protein structure, in homology search of various proteins including oncogene products are presented. The method takes account of various kinds of information concerning the properties of amino acids, such as Chou and Fasman's probability data. The method can detect conformational similarities of proteins which may not be detected by the conventional programs.
