Internal packing and protein structural classes.
Protein folding is one of the most important and intriguing of the unsolved problems at the interface between chemistry and biology. The ability of polypeptide chains to fold into unique compact conformations with a vast array of biological functions is rare, if not unique, among high polymers. At this time there is no reason to believe that the chemical interactions currently recognized in sma...
متن کاملLogos for amino-acid preferences in different backbone packing density regions of protein structural classes.
A protein sequence can be classified into one of four structural classes, namely alpha, beta, alpha + beta and alpha/beta, based on its amino-acid composition. The present study aims at understanding why a particular sequence with a given amino-acid composition should fold into a specific structural class. In order to answer this question, each amino acid in the protein sequence was classified ...
متن کاملEvolution of protein structural classes and protein sequence families.
In protein structure space, protein structures cluster into four elongated regions when mapped based solely on similarity among the 3D structures. These four regions correspond to the four major classes of present-day proteins defined by the contents of secondary structure types and their topological arrangement. Evolution of and restriction to these four classes suggest that, in most cases, th...
متن کاملA structural dissection of large protein-protein crystal packing contacts
With the rapid increase in crystal structures of protein-protein complexes deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), more and more crystal contacts have been shown to have similar or even larger interface areas than biological interfaces. However, little attention has been paid to these large crystal packing contacts and their structural principles remain unknown. To address this issue, we used...
متن کاملProtein-RNA interactions: structural analysis and functional classes.
A data set of 89 protein-RNA complexes has been extracted from the Protein Data Bank, and the nucleic acid recognition sites characterized through direct contacts, accessible surface area, and secondary structure motifs. The differences between RNA recognition sites that bind to RNAs in functional classes has also been analyzed. Analysis of the complete data set revealed that van der Waals inte...
