Is protein folding still a challenge?
Mittal et al. in their paper entitled “A stoichiometry driven universal spatial organization of backbones of folded proteins: Are there Chargaff’s rules for protein folding?” have asked whether there is a unifying theme or concept underlying the magnificent diversity of folded protein structures (1). They have observed that preferential interactions between amino acids do not drive protein fold...
متن کاملProtein Stability, Folding, Disaggregation and Etiology of Conformational Malfunctions
Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...
متن کاملOptimization Approaches to Protein Folding
To my mentors iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my advisor, Dr. Joel Sokol for his invaluable guidance, support, inspiration, understanding, and friendship throughout the entire period of my research. Dr. Emilie Danna for their willingness to serve on my dissertation committee and for their valuable comments and suggestions. I also thank Dr. Emilie D...
متن کاملImplications to protein folding and to protein-protein association Hydrophobic folding units at protein-protein interfaces: References
A hydrophobic folding unit cutting algorithm, originally developed for dissecting single-chain proteins, has been applied to a dataset of dissimilar two-chain protein-protein interfaces. Rather than consider each individual chain separately, the two-chain complex has been treated as a single chain. The two-chain parsing results presented in this work show hydrophobicity to be a critical attribu...
متن کاملFrontiers in chemistry grand challenge: open communication to the world
The excitement of making a new compound, discovering new characterization methods, and applying these systems for practical applications is a feeling that many of us as chemists and scientists markedly enjoy. Yet how can we pass along these experiences to younger generations? One major way involves communication of our results in written forms that others can experience over long periods of tim...
