Prediction of Protein Function Using Statistically Significant Sub-Structure Discovery [PDF]
, 2007 Proteins perform a vast number of functional roles. The number of protein structures available for analysis continues to grow and, with the development of methods to predict protein structure directly from genetic sequence without imaging technology, the

Functional Dynamics of Proteins [PDF]
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2012 X-ray crystallography captures protein conformational states that are stable enough to be captured. These observable states are simply part of the functional event in the context of protein dynamics. Life at the molecular level has a vibrant nature at physiological temperature, governed by physics laws. Molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations have been

Protein folds and functions [PDF]
Structure, 1998 The recent rapid increase in the number of available three-dimensional protein structures has further highlighted the necessity to understand the relationship between biological function and structure. Using structural classification schemes such as SCOP, CATH and DALI, it is now possible to explore global relationships between protein fold and ...

Functional Residues in Proteins [PDF]
Journal of Amino Acids, 2011 We are delighted to present a special issue on the subject of functional residues of proteins. Finding focused articles within the time frame of a special issue is always challenging, which is further compounded by authors' reluctance in making their contributions to new journals. We have been fortunate enough that some leading researchers in the field

An artificial immune system for clustering amino acids in the context of protein function classification [PDF]
, 2009 This paper addresses the classification task of data mining (a form of supervised learning) in the context of an important bioinformatics problem, namely the prediction of protein functions.

Functional protein dynamics in a crystal
Biophysical Journal, 2023 Abstract Proteins are molecular machines and to understand how they work, we need to understand how they move. New pump-probe time-resolved X-ray diffraction methods open up ways to initiate and observe protein motions with atomistic detail in crystals on biologically relevant timescales.

Functional Evolution of Proteins [PDF]
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2019 AbstractThe functional evolution of proteins advances through gene duplication followed by functional drift, whereas molecular evolution occurs through random mutational events. Over time, protein active‐site structures or functional epitopes remain highly conserved, which enables relationships to be inferred between distant orthologs or paralogs.

Toxins, 2020 Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a highly abundant mycotoxin that exerts many adverse effects on humans and animals. Much effort has been made to control DON in the past, and bio-transformation has emerged as the most promising method.

Ion selectivity and rotor coupling of the Vibrio flagellar sodium-driven stator unit
Nature Communications, 2023 Bacteria swim using a flagellar motor that is powered by stator units. Vibrio spp. are highly motile bacteria responsible for various human diseases, the polar flagella of which are exclusively driven by sodium-dependent stator units (PomAB).

WDR76 is a RAS binding protein that functions as a tumor suppressor via RAS degradation
Nature Communications, 2019 Overexpression of RAS proteins is frequently observed in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, the authors identify an HRAS binding protein, the E3 ubiquitin ligase WDR76, which promotes HRAS degradation, thus functioning as a tumour suppressor ...
