Potential implications of availability of short amino acid sequences in proteins: An old and new approach to protein decoding and design
2008, Biotechnology Annual ReviewCitation Excerpt :Among the short sequences with highly positive availability scores, repeated sequences and palindromic sequences are abundantly found. These sequences are especially abundant in eukaryotic proteins and believed to be functionally important [75,84,85]. Sequences with negative availability scores are more enigmatic.
