title: A new graphical representation of similarity/dissimilarity studies of protein sequences.
abstract: Based on chaos game representation, a two-dimensional-graphical representation of protein sequences is described in which 20 amino acids are rearranged in a cyclic order using a PAM250 substitution matrix. A numerical characterisation has been developed as a descriptor to compare protein sequences. Finally, an example is given in which the dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5) protein sequences of nine species are compared.
