(A) Identification of tyrosyl tRNA synthetase unique n-grams. Tyrosyl -tRNA synthetase (PDB:3TS1 [48]) is shown (white) in complex with tyrosyl adenylate intermediate (orange). The pair H45I46 (cyan) of the catalytic His, the residues K230FGKT234 of the mobile loop (cyan) and the three most unique n-grams (magenta) are shown as sticks.(B) Scarcity score of amino acids. 24 homologous (E value < 10-57) of Bacillus stearothermophilus were used to calculate the average uniqueness score. Three unique n-grams (filled circles) are distinguished. (C) PROSITE motifs. The loop containing the catalytic His at the binding site (magenta) is identified using PROSITE.
