The Role of Aspherical Protein Shape: Dynamic Simulation of Ellipsoids
It was recently discovered that proteins, as well as their constituent amino acids, have aspect ratios that distribute around a value close to the Golden ratio, φ ≈ 1.618. In addition, it has long been known that proteins have an aspherical shape. However, reasons for evolution to favour such a shap...
