PWM-based approach

Tryptophan is crucial for the interaction, and the contributions of its two adjacent amino-acid residues are more important than residues at more distant surrounding position.

The implementation of such a model follows the basic idea behind position weight matrix (PWM). In this way, Trp is assumed as a midpoint of the matrix, and likelihoods of all other non-tryptophan amino acid spread along more distant positions in both directions from the central residue.

Whub a portal to study functional W-containing motifs in animal, plant and viral proteins.

Glycine/tryptophane (GW) proteins are strictly required in siRNA- and miRNA-mediated gene silencing in all Eukaryotes. GW protein interacts with its functional partner Argonaute proteins (AGO) via WG/GW motifs and form an effector complexes known as RISC.
