title: A novel representation of protein structure.
abstract: Using a nonlinear mapping technique, we demonstrate that proteins folded in two dimensions display the same overall structural features as their three-dimensional counterparts. The two-dimensional representation of protein structure provides a novel way to visualize structural as well as distance information. It may also provide a link for deriving three-dimensional structure from amino acid sequence.
