A computer system to perform structure comparison using TOPS representations of protein structure [PDF]
, 2001 We describe the design and implementation of a fast topology–based method for protein structure comparison. The approach uses the TOPS topological representation of protein structure, aligning two structures using a common discovered pattern and ...

Domain discovery method for topological profile searches in protein structures [PDF]
, 2004 We describe a method for automated domain discovery for topological profile searches in protein structures. The method is used in a system TOPStructure for fast prediction of CATH classification for protein structures (given as PDB files).

Pattern matching and pattern discovery algorithms for protein topologies [PDF]
, 2001 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 ...

Molecular basis for protein histidine N1-specific methylation of the “His-x-His” motifs by METTL9
Cell Insight, 2023 Histidine methylation serves as an intriguing strategy to introduce altered traits of target proteins, including metal ion chelation, histidine-based catalysis, molecular assembly, and translation regulation.

A structural alignment kernel for protein structures [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2007 AbstractMotivation: This work aims to develop computational methods to annotate protein structures in an automated fashion. We employ a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to map from a given class of structures to their corresponding structural (SCOP) or functional (Gene Ontology) annotation.

Cell-based assays to identify novel retinoprotective agents
MethodsX, 2020 Degeneration of the retina can lead ultimately to devastating irreversible vision loss, such as in inherited retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Currently there is no cure to prevent retinal degeneration.

Functional properties of individual sub-domains of the fibrin(ogen) αC-domains
BBA Advances, 2023 Background: Fibrinogen is a large polyfunctional plasma protein consisting of a number of structural and functional domains. Among them, two αC-domains, each formed by the amino acid residues Аα392–610, are involved in fibrin polymerization, activation ...

Mutational analysis of the AtNUDT7 Nudix hydrolase from Arabidopsis thaliana reveals residues required for protein quaternary structure formation and activity. [PDF]
, 2009 Arabidopsis thaliana AtNUDT7, a homodimeric Nudix hydrolase active on ADP-ribose and NADH, exerts negative control on the major signaling complex involved in plant defense activation and programmed cell death.
