The side-chain conformations of topologically equivalent residues in seven pairs of proteins ranging in sequence homology from 16% to 60% are compared. Both identical and mutated residues are included. For proteins with greater than 40% homology, it is found that at least 80 % of the side-chain orientations of identical residues and 75 % or more of the mutated residues in each pair of proteins have matching γ atom dihedral angles (± 40 °); the comparison is not based strictly onχ1angles. Further, if a match is obtained at the γ position, there is a high probability of matching for the δ atom(s) of the side-chain. For proteins with less than 25% homology the percentages are somewhat lower. Trends observed for conservative substitutions are essentially the same as those noted for mutated residues in general. Side-chain accessibility does not affect the probability of matches of identical residues; however, less accessible pairs of mutated residues have 10 to 20% higher matching probabilities than do exposed residues. Mismatches can frequently be related to largeB-factors, certain types of amino acid substitutions, or the appearance of multiple minima on the side-chain potential energy surfaces and are most likely to occur for certain small residues (Ser, Thr, Val). Analysis of all the results makes possible the formulation of a set of rules for side-chain positioning in the modeling of homologous proteins.
