Structure of Proteins

Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, 1939
THE structure of proteins is the major unsolved problem on the boundary of chemistry and biology to-day. We have not yet found the key to the problem, but in recent years a mass of new evidence and new lines of attack have enabled us to see it in a far more concrete and precise form, and to have some hope that we are near to solving it.

Protein Structure Prediction and Structural Genomics

Science, 2001
Genome sequencing projects are producing linear amino acid sequences, but full understanding of the biological role of these proteins will require knowledge of their structure and function. Although experimental structure determination methods are providing high-resolution structure information about a subset of the proteins, computational structure ...

Protein structure prediction

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001
The prediction of protein structure, based primarily on sequence and structure homology, has become an increasingly important activity. Homology models have become more accurate and their range of applicability has increased. Progress has come, in part, from the flood of sequence and structure information that has appeared over the past few years, and ...

Protein Structure Prediction

2008
Protein structure prediction has matured over the past few years to the point that even fully automated methods can provide reasonably accurate three-dimensional models of protein structures. However, until now it has not been possible to develop programs able to perform as well as human experts, who are still capable of systematically producing better

Protein structure

2016
This chapter explores the structures of proteins in more detail than thus far in this text. Building on the basic structural and physical chemistry of amino acids and protein conformations, it examines the features that stabilize native states. Proteins combine the unity of a common and repetitive mainchain with the variety available from a sequence of

The structure of protein evolution and the evolution of protein structure

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2008
The observed distribution of protein structures can give us important clues about the underlying evolutionary process, imposing important constraints on possible models. The availability of results from an increasing number of genome projects has made the development of these models an active area of research.

Protein Structure Databases

Molecular Biotechnology, 2009
Web-based protein structure databases come in a wide variety of types and levels of information content. Those having the most general interest are the various atlases that describe each experimentally determined protein structure and provide useful links, analyses, and schematic diagrams relating to its 3D structure and biological function.

Stabilization of protein structures

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1997
The technique of protein stabilization has been improving steadily in recent years, but it is only in the past year or two that the stability of some protein molecules has been improved to the level of those from extreme thermophilic organisms. This was achieved by multiple mutations and often by utilizing the knowledge gained from the homologous ...

Structures of Thymosin Proteins

2016
The thymosin proteins are all short, highly charged, intrinsically unstructured proteins under natural conditions. However, structure can be induced in many of the thymosin proteins by providing charge neutralization at low pH or by the addition of Zn(2+) ions, organic reagents such as trifluoroethanol, hexafluoropropanol, or n-dodecyltrimethylammonium

Comparison of protein structures

1985
Publisher Summary This chapter presents various techniques that have been used to establish similarity in protein folds. The chapter discusses ways in which structural correspondence can be measured and how such measures can be used to attempt to estimate the probability that a given correspondence might have arisen through convergence or divergence.
