De novo design of the hydrophobic cores of proteins.
We have developed and experimentally tested a novel computational approach for the de novo design of hydrophobic cores. A pair of computer programs has been written, the first of which creates a "custom" rotamer library for potential hydrophobic residues, based on the backbone structure of the protein of interest. The second program uses a genetic algorithm to globally optimize for a low energy...
متن کاملBeta-hairpins in proteins revisited: lessons for de novo design.
Beta-Hairpins with short connecting loops (1-5 residues) have been identified from a data set of 250 non-homologous, high resolution (< or =2.0 A) protein crystal structures. The conformational preferences of the loop segments have been analyzed with the specific aim of identifying frequently occurring motifs. Type I' and II' beta-turns were found to have a high propensity for occurrence in two...
متن کاملSpatial sequestration and oligomer remodeling during de novo [PSI+] formation
Prions are misfolded, aggregated, infectious proteins found in a range of organisms from mammals to bacteria. In mammals, prion formation is difficult to study because misfolding and aggregation take place prior to symptom presentation. The study of the yeast prion [PSI+], which is the misfolded infectious form of Sup35p, provides a tractable system to monitor prion formation in real time. Rece...
متن کاملDe novo design and structural characterization of proteins and metalloproteins.
De novo protein design has recently emerged as an attractive approach for studying the structure and function of proteins. This approach critically tests our understanding of the principles of protein folding; only in de novo design must one truly confront the issue of how to specify a protein's fold and function. If we truly understand proteins, it should be possible to design receptors, enzym...
متن کاملDe novo designed cyclic-peptide heme complexes.
The structural characterization of de novo designed metalloproteins together with determination of chemical reactivity can provide a detailed understanding of the relationship between protein structure and functional properties. Toward this goal, we have prepared a series of cyclic peptides that bind to water-soluble metalloporphyrins (FeIII and CoIII). Neutral and positively charged histidine-...
