Abstract
We explore statistical independence and dynamical system structures in protein primary sequences, based on the Swiss-Prot database. Results of testing for independence vs. Markov dependence in each sequence are reported. As for the dynamical systems, we discuss the problems of formulating a suitable fractal dimension for discrete state-space and estimating the embedding dimension as well as the link function. Some descriptive statistics for the sequences are also given.
