A method of quantitative characterization of nonpolar residue distribution in amino acid sequences of globular proteins is proposed. It consists in determination of ratios of residues belonging to two selected amino acid subgroups: leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan; and alanine, valine, isoleucine. It was found that the values of the proposed index of analyzed proteins are in the range 0.51-1.27, the mean value being 0.90 +/- 0.10.
