Some research has suggested that patches of six constitute an important amino acid window length in proteins for conveying information. We present database evidence that supports this conjecture, as well as additional recurrence-based data that characterization and quantification of these words affect the folding/aggregation features of proteins. Other indirect evidence is presented and discussed.
