Pseudo Amino Acid Composition
Introduction

Pseudo amino acid composition, or PseAA composition, was originally introduced by Professor Kuo-Chen Chou [1] in 2001 to represent protein samples for statistical prediction. In contrast with the conventional amino acid (AA) composition that contains 20 components with each reflecting the occurrence frequency for one of the 20 native amino acids in a protein, the PseAA composition contains a set of greater than 20 discrete factors, where the first 20 represent the components of its conventional AA composition while the additional factors incorporate some sequence-order information via various modes. Typically, these additional factors are a series of rank-different correlation factors along a protein chain, but they can also be any combinations of other factors so long as they can reflect some sorts of sequence-order effects one way or the other. Therefore, the essence of PseAA composition is that on one hand it covers the AA composition, but on the other hand it contains the information beyond the AA composition and hence can better reflect the feature of a protein sequence through a discrete model. Ever since the concept of PseAA composition was introduced, it has been widely utilized to predict various protein attributes, such as protein subcellular localization, membrane protein type, enzyme functional class, GPCR type, protease type, protein structural class, and protein secondary structural content, among many others (see the references cited in [2] and [3]). Meanwhile, various different modes to formulate the PseAA composition have also been developed. Background

In the history of developing methods for predicting subcellular localization of proteins and their other attributes, two kinds of models were generally used to represent protein samples: (1) the sequential model, and (2) the non-sequential model or discrete model. The most typical sequential representation for a protein sample is its entire amino acid sequence, which can contain its most complete information. This is an obvious advantage of the sequential model. To get the desired results, the sequence-similarity-search-based tools are usually utilized to conduct the prediction. However, this kind of approach failed to work when a query protein did not have significant homology to attribute-known proteins. Thus, various discrete models were proposed.

The simplest discrete model is using the AA (amino acid) composition to represent protein samples, as formulated as follows. Given a protein sequence with  amino acid resides, i.e., (1)

where represents the 1st residue of the protein, the 2nd residue, and so forth, according to the AA composition model, the protein  of Eq.1 can be expressed by			(2) where are the normalized occurrence frequencies of the 20 native amino acids in, and the transposing operator. Owing to its simplicity, the AA composition model was widely used in many earlier statistical prediction methods for protein attributes. However, all the sequence-order information would be lost by using the AA composition to represent a protein. This is its main shortcoming. To avoid completely losing the sequence-order information, the concept of PseAA (pseudo amino acid) composition was proposed by Professor Kuo-Chen Chou [1]. According to the PseAA composition model, the protein of Eq.1 can be formulated as			(3) where the components are given by			(4) where is the weight factor, and  the  tier correlation factor that reflects the sequence order correlation between all the  most contiguous residues (Fig.1) as formulated by 			(5) with (6) where is the  function of the amino acid, and  the total number of the functions considered. For example, in the original paper by Professor Kuo-Chen Chou[1], , and are respectively the hydrophobicity value, hydrophilicity value, and side chain mass of amino acid ;  , , and   the corresponding values for the amino acid ; the total number of functions considered is. It can be seen from Eq.3 that the first 20 components, i.e.,, are associated with the conventional AA composition of protein, while the remaining components are the  correlation factors that reflect the 1st tier, 2nd tier, …, and the th tier sequence order correlation patterns (Fig.1). It is through these additional factors that some important sequence-order effects are incorporated.

Note that in Eq.3 is a parameter of integer and that choosing a different integer for  will lead to a dimension-different PseAA composition [2]. Also note that using Eq.6 is just one of the modes for deriving the correlation factors or PseAA components. The others, such as the physicochemical distance mode [4] and amphiphilic pattern mode [5], can also be used to derive different types of PseAA composition. In 2008 a free server called PseAAC [6] is provided at the website http://chou.med.harvard.edu/bioinf/PseAAC/. By using the web server, users can generate the PseAA composition for any given protein sequence by selecting the mode as desired.
