Valine (Val, V)

Substitution matrix values

(numbers are exchange matrix values for how favorable a substitution is; these are based on a large set of sequence alignments in each class shown above).

Click to see the possible outcomes of chaning Val to other amino acids:

A C D E F G H I K L M N P Q R S T W Y

Single nucleotide codon changes (* = stop)

(numbers are the counts of amino acids that are accessible by a single nucleotide condon change for all codons or individually)

Side-chain interaction preferences (Protein, DNA, RNA, chemicals)

(values are log-odds of how many contacts are seen in a set of non-redundant protein structures against how many would be expected randomly. P=protein, Chem=chemical, intra=within proteins, inter=between proteins, PTM=post-translational modificaitons, for DNA and RNA standard one-letter (ATCGU) codes used, ac=h-bond acceptor, do=h-bond donor, im=imidazole, py=pyrimidine)
