A collection of published indices, or scales, of numerous physicochemical and biological properties of the 20 standard aminoacids (Release 9.1, August 2006).

data(aa.index)

Format

A list of 544 named indeces each with the following components:

  1. H character vector: Accession number.

  2. D character vector: Data description.

  3. R character vector: LITDB entry number.

  4. A character vector: Author(s).

  5. T character vector: Title of the article.

  6. J character vector: Journal reference.

  7. C named numeric vector: Correlation coefficients of similar indeces (with coefficients of 0.8/-0.8 or more/less). The correlation coefficient is calculated with zeros filled for missing values.

  8. I named numeric vector: Amino acid index data.

Examples

## Load AAindex data data(aa.index) ## Find all indeces described as "volume" ind <- which(sapply(aa.index, function(x) length(grep("volume", x$D, ignore.case=TRUE)) != 0)) ## find all indeces with author "Kyte" ind <- which(sapply(aa.index, function(x) length(grep("Kyte", x$A)) != 0)) ## examine the index aa.index[[ind]]$I

## find indeces which correlate with it all.ind <- names(which(Mod(aa.index[[ind]]$C) >= 0.88)) ## examine them all sapply(all.ind, function (x) aa.index[[x]]$I)
