摘要：

Fractal properties of 5526 different protein chains are investigated. Characteristic fractal behavior for different molecular systems is obtained from the fractal dimension analysis, which shows that the dimension is,delta=2.47. This dimension gives a measure of the protein compactness. The present finding indicates that the fractal analysis describes some structural properties of proteins and corroborates the explanation about multifractality in the energy hypersurface.
