title: Characteristics Analyses and Comparisons of the Protein Structure Networks Constructed by Different Methods.
abstract: Protein structure networks (PSNs) were widely used in analyses of protein structure and function. In this work, we analyzed and compared the characters of PSNs by different methods. The degrees of the different types of the nodes were found to be associated with the amino acid characters, including SAS, secondary structure, hydropathy and the volume of amino acids. It showed that PSNs by the methods of CA10, SC10 and AT5 inherited more amino acid characters and had higher correlations with the original protein structures. And PSNs by these three methods would be powerful tools in understanding the characters of protein structures.
