Abstract
The charge distributions in protein tertiary structures are classified according to the types of their electric multipoles. The observed types of the multipole structures due to only partial atomic charges correlate well with the tertiary folding patterns of the backbones. The multipole structures due to only ionized side chains are found to have almost reversed features of those due to only atomic charges, as stated by the plus-minus charge compensation principle proposed in our accompanying paper.
