3D interaction homology: The hydrophobic residues alanine, isoleucine, leucine, proline and valine play different structural roles in soluble and membrane proteins

The aliphatic hydrophobic amino acid residues—alanine, isoleucine, leucine, proline and valine—are among the most common found in proteins. Their structural role in proteins is seemingly obvious: engage in hydrophobic interactions to stabilize secondary, and to a lesser extent, tertiary and quaterna...
