Studies on the loop II coordinate structure of long £\-neurotoxins

Six new structural parameters £rB, £pB, £rC, £pC, £rS, and £pS are proposed to enhance the side chain actions in protein structures. Programs for calculating these new parameters based on phi and psi torsion angles vector algebra calculation method are established. A bivariate model with von Mises marginal distributions are applied to establish models of phi and psi in protein class Ophiophagus hannah neurotoxins and alpha-bungarotoxins respectively. 11 global structural parameters include phi and psi torsion angles, bond lengths of C-N, C-O, C£\ -C, and N-C£\, and bond angles of C-N-C£\, C£\-C-N, C£\-C-O, N-C£\-C, and O-C-N are considered to classify long alpha-neurotoxins by Ward's cluster method and LIBSVM program package. Those global structural parameters of loop II Trp residues of alpha-neurotoxins are discussed.
