dear colleagues,
We have purified a cystatin inhibitor and sequenced it by Edman degradation.
This sequence (about 110 residues) contains many amino acid doublets for
example:
GG, AA, YY, VV, MM, PP...
I would like to know if the presence of such doublets has a special meaning
due to e.g some genetic events?? or if it's a normal and common feature in
proteins??
Thanks in advance for any comments!!
