Table V.

Comparison of Normalizeda Amino Acid Side-Chain Hydrophilicity/Hydrophobicity Scales

a

Normalization method assigns the average of the coefficient values to zero and the standard deviation of the scale to one.

b

Descriptions of the derivations of the scales are shown in the footnotes to Table III.

c

From Table III, the + and − signs were reversed for the original coefficient values determined by this method compared to the other 20 approaches; for ease of comparison, the normalized Scale 20 has been adapted to conform to the other scales.

d

Boxed values denote significant discrepancies with the intrinsic random coil scales, 1 (pH 2) and 12 (pH 7) used for comparison.
