Detailed Description

The reduced Li amino acid alphabet.

The alphabet consists of letters A, B, C, F, G, H, I, J, K, P A represents hydrophilic and alocohol residues (A,S,T). B represents charged/polar residues (B,D,E,Q,Z). C represents cystein and the species-specific amino acid Selenocysteine. F represents amino acids with aromatic residues (F,W,Y). H represents a group of hydrophobic residues (H,N). I represents a group of large hydrophobic residues (I,V). J represents a group of large hydrophobic residues (J,L,M). K represents long-chain positively charged residues (K,R) and the species-specific amino acid Pyrrolysine. G and P do not represent any other amino acids other than themselves.

This alphabet allows to reduce the aminoacid alphabet size to 10 but is still able to recognize and represent folding of all proteins. Amino acids are grouped together based on residues.

Note: Letters which belong in the extended alphabet will be automatically converted. Terminator characters are converted to F, because the most commonly occurring stop codon in higher eukaryotes is UGA ². This is most similar to a Tryptophan which in this alphabet gets converted to Phenylalanine. Anything unknown is converted to A.
