From: Computing H/D-Exchange rates of single residues from data of proteolytic fragments
Term/Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
fragment | A fragment is a set of consecutive residues resulting from the digestion of the protein. |
ℱ | The set of all (possibly overlapping) fragments. |
color | We divide the exchange rates into classes and associate a color with each class. |
| The set of the K distinct colors. |
part | A part is a maximal set of residues contained in the same set of fragments, i.e., an inclusion-wise maximal subset of a fragment that is either contained in or disjoint from any other fragment. |
| The partition of the residues into parts as defined above. |
subproblem | An instance decomposes into independent subproblems if there is no overlap between the fragments of the different subproblems. |
