Abstract:
Protein data base SWISSPROT was tested in the search for palindrome sequences in primary structure of polypeptides. The obtained results indicate that palindrome words are present in protein structure and there is a number of them. Half of the length of the longest palindrome was 76 and in accordance with expectations the shorter the length of the palindrome the greater number of them has been determined.
