Abstract
This article presents a new approach to detect coiled coil and leucine zipper (L-Zip) motifs in protein sequences. The approach is based on protein scale calculation and sequence analysis. For this purpose, the wavelet-based local extrema extraction is employed, and window-based variations of local extrema afterward. This, in turn, provided a way to distinguish coiled coil subsequences and potential L-Zip motifs. The approach is validated on carefully chosen protein sequences that return inconclusive results within known frameworks for L-Zip detection, for example, 2ZIP. The results show that this new approach represents an improvement over previously presented approaches.
