Abstract
This paper describes the analysis of amino acid sequence as well as the denaturation experiment of soluble globular and membrane proteins. The two kinds of proteins were discriminated by amino acid sequence almost completely, using only the hydrophobicity. The denaturation measurements lead to the conclusion that the hydrophobic interaction determines the form of proteins (i.e. globular or membrane proteins), while the polar interactions play major role in the tertiary structure formation.
