Abstract: We extracted 524 pairs of parallel peptide segments and 2283 pairs of anti-parallel pep-tide segments of 5 residues long from the 125 heterogeneous proteins,and then applied the statistical analysis algorithm to calculating residue-residue pairing frequencies.Finally the relative pairing frequencies or affinities were obtained.From the affinities it can be seen that there exists substantially specific residue-reside pairing between two strands of the interactive peptide segments.The obtained results will be helpful for protein engineering and structure prediction.
