It is shown that the concepts of grammar complexity and syntactic structure provide a useful mathematical framework for the investigation of some current problems in protein structure. Grammar complexity gives a measure of the degree of aperiodicity of a sequence and also an optimization criterion for evaluating amino acid categorizations. Three systems of amino acid categorization are compared in relation to their value for describing molecular architecture.
