NMR solution structure of a chymotrypsin inhibitor from the Taiwan cobra Naja naja atra [PDF]
The Taiwan cobra (Naja naja atra) chymotrypsin inhibitor (NACI) consists of 57 amino acids and is related to other Kunitz-type inhibitors such as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and Bungarus fasciatus fraction IX (BF9), another chymotrypsin ...

Electrostatic interactions and secondary structures in proteins
In an attempt to understand the occurrences of secondary forms in proteins, we have calculated approximate free energies for a large set of regular secondary regions and have compared several methods for choosing a single molecular conformation. Approximate conformational free energies have been obtained by directly calculating electrostatic energies ...

Pattern matching and pattern discovery algorithms for protein topologies [PDF]
We describe algorithms for pattern matching and pattern learning in TOPS diagrams (formal descriptions of protein topologies). These problems can be reduced to checking for subgraph isomorphism and finding maximal common subgraphs in a restricted ...

Calibration and standardisation of synchrotron radiation circular dichroism and conventional circular dichroism spectrophotometers [PDF]
Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) is an emerging technique in structural biology with particular value in protein secondary structure analyses since it permits the collection of data down to much lower wavelengths than conventional ...

DichroMatch: a website for similarity searching of circular dichroism spectra [PDF]
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a widely used method for examining the structure, folding and conformational changes of proteins. A new online CD analysis server (DichroMatch) has been developed for identifying proteins with similar spectral ...

Protein secondary structure prediction methods based on RBF neural networks [PDF]
To solve the complicated non-linear mode-sorting problem of protein secondary structure prediction, the chapter proposed a new method based on radial basis function neural networks and learning from evolution.

Synthesis and structural characterization of a mimetic membrane-anchored prion protein [PDF]
During pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) an abnormal form (PrPSc) of the host encoded prion protein (PrPC) accumulates in insoluble fibrils and plaques. The two forms of PrP appear to have identical covalent structures, but
