Ancient Airs: A Musical Analysis of Protein Structure Presentation for American Aesthetics Society, Santa Fe, July, 2001

Musical transformations of animal protein sequences at WhoZoo Human protein sequences from the Gene Project Reports at Texas Wesleyan University Projects for 2001 Projects for 2002 Note: all of the sequences from the links immediately above are simple linear readouts of the amino acid sequences of the proteins indicated. However some sense of the protein's higher order structure emerges from the alternation between the higher-pitched polar amino acids and the lower-pitched nonpolar amino acids.
