Non-random \u03b2-sheet propensities of amino acids have been revealed both by their distinct statistical preferences within known protein structures and by the relative thermodynamic scales through the experimental host-guest systems. However, recent fitting analysis has proved that a native \u03b2-sheet conforms to a minimal surface with zero mean curvature, like the physical model of soap films.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We here suggest that the stability of a residue in the all \u03b2-sheet proteins can be measured with its mean curvature parameter, using discrete differential geometry. The sharply decreasing mean curvature with increasing number of \u03b2-strands identifies a significant cooperative effect whereby the interstrand interaction increases in strength with the number of \u03b2-strands. Furthermore, strong correlations of mean curvatures with previous \u03b2-sheet propensities of amino acids show that their intrinsic differences in adopting the ideal \u03b2-sheet structure are affected by the water-accessible area of side-chains, and result in the distinct statistical and thermodynamic \u03b2-sheet propensities. Therefore, we conclude that mean curvature should be considered as the significant stability index of a \u03b2-sheet structure.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0ehkoh@yonsei.ac.kr<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,16]],"date-time":"2005-11-16T03:08:21Z","timestamp":1132110501000},"page":"297-302","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Mean curvature as a major determinant of \u03b2-sheet propensity"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Eunhee","family":"Koh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Yonsei University 1 \u00a0 1 \u00a0 \u00a0 134, Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 120-749, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taehyo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"POSCO, Technical Research Laboratories 3 \u00a0 3 \u00a0 \u00a0 699, Gumho-dong, Gwangyang-si, Jeonnam, 545-090, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyun-soo","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Yonsei University 1 \u00a0 1 \u00a0 \u00a0 134, Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 120-749, Korea"},{"name":"Protein Network Research Center, Yonsei University 2 \u00a0 2 \u00a0 \u00a0 134, Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 120-749, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012408342631200_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-2836(73)90022-3","article-title":"Conformation of twisted \u03b2-sheets in proteins","volume":"75","author":"Chothia","year":"1973","journal-title":"J.
