摘要

To clarify the randomness of protein sequences, we make a detailed analysis of a set of typical protein sequences representing each fold by using the nonlinear prediction method developed in nonlinear dynamics theory. No deterministic structures are found in these protein sequences and this implies that they behave as random chains. We also explain the controversial results obtained in previous investigations.
