Rapid membrane protein topology prediction
UNLABELLED State-of-the-art methods for topology of α-helical membrane proteins are based on the use of time-consuming multiple sequence alignments obtained from PSI-BLAST or other sources. Here, we examine if it is possible to use the consensus of topology prediction methods that are based on single sequences to obtain a similar accuracy as the more accurate multiple sequence-based methods. He...
متن کاملAdventures in Membrane Protein Topology
The molecular aggregate size of the closed state of the colicin E1 channel was determined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments involving a fluorescence donor (three tryptophans, wild-type protein) and a fluorescence acceptor (5-(((acetyl)amino)ethyl)aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (AEDANS), Trp-deficient protein). There was no evidence of energy transfer between the donor and ...
متن کاملDeterminants of membrane protein topology.
The topology of the integral membrane protein MalF, which is required for maltose transport in Escherichia coli, has been analyzed using fusions of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1). The properties of such fusion strains support a MalF structure previously proposed on theoretical grounds. Several transmembrane segments within MalF can act as signal sequences in exporting alkaline phosphatase. O...
متن کاملA Computational Topology Approach to Hard Spheres in a Box
As an attempt to better understand the physical properties of atoms and how they interact together on a quantum level, physicists have looked toward models based upon hard spheres for insight. Similar in spirit to the underpinnings of the Boltzmann model, the hard spheres model sets a foundation upon which to frame this topic and begin to tackle interesting problems. In order to simplify matter...
متن کاملProximal Nerve Complexes. A Computational Topology Approach
This article introduces a theory of proximal nerve complexes and nerve spokes, restricted to the triangulation of finite regions in the Euclidean plane. A nerve complex is a collection of filled triangles with a common vertex, covering a finite region of the plane. Structures called k-spokes, k ≥ 1, are a natural extension of nerve complexes. A k-spoke is the union of a collection of filled tri...
