Predicting Protein Molecular Function
Predicting Protein Molecular Function by Barbara Elizabeth Engelhardt Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science and the Designated Emphases in Computational and Genomic Biology and Communication, Computation, and Statistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael I. Jordan, Chair The number of known nucleotide sequences encoding proteins is growing at an extraordinarily fast rate du...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics and protein function.
A fundamental appreciation for how biological macromolecules work requires knowledge of structure and dynamics. Molecular dynamics simulations provide powerful tools for the exploration of the conformational energy landscape accessible to these molecules, and the rapid increase in computational power coupled with improvements in methodology makes this an exciting time for the application of sim...
متن کاملProtein adsorption on biomaterial and nanomaterial surfaces: a molecular modeling approach to study non-covalent interactions.
Atomistic computer simulations of protein adsorption on the heterogeneous surface of biomaterials and nanomaterials are reviewed. First, we present a very brief introduction to some relevant issues concerning force fields and the computational methodologies currently used, in particular molecular dynamics simulations for studying non-covalent interactions in general. The main results are then d...
متن کاملMolecular genetic approaches to microtubule-associated protein function.
Protein function in vivo can be studied by deleting (knock-out) the gene that encodes it, and search for the consequences. This procedure involves different technologies, including recombinant DNA procedures, cell biology methods and histological and immunocytochemical analysis. In this work we have reviewed these procedures when they have been applied to ascertain the function of several micro...
متن کاملMolecular modeling of protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions.
Forty-nine regions in 21 proteins were identified as potential heparin-binding sites based on the sequence organizations of their basic and nonbasic residues. Twelve known heparin-binding sequences in vitronectin, apolipoproteins E and B-100, and platelet factor 4 were used to formulate two search strings for identifying potential heparin-binding regions in other proteins. Consensus sequences f...
