Abstract

Information theory is used to analyze the character of signal peptide quantitatively, especially residents. On the basis of the above analysis, a method named simplified information-matrix has been developed to predict the cleavage sites of signal peptides. A comparison between the results of weight-matrix and simplified information-matrix is presented.

Keywords: signal peptide, information-matrix, information entropy, cleavage sites
