Protein Repeats from First Principles.
Some natural proteins display recurrent structural patterns. Despite being highly similar at the tertiary structure level, repeating patterns within a single repeat protein can be extremely variable at the sequence level. We use a mathematical definition of a repetition and investigate the occurrences of these in sequences of different protein families. We found that long stretches of perfect r...
متن کاملUnderstanding hierarchical protein evolution from first principles.
We propose a model that explains the hierarchical organization of proteins in fold families. The model, which is based on the evolutionary selection of proteins by their native state stability, reproduces patterns of amino acids conserved across protein families. Due to its dynamic nature, the model sheds light on the evolutionary time-scales. By studying the relaxation of the correlation funct...
متن کاملPrediction of membrane-protein topology from first principles.
The current best membrane-protein topology-prediction methods are typically based on sequence statistics and contain hundreds of parameters that are optimized on known topologies of membrane proteins. However, because the insertion of transmembrane helices into the membrane is the outcome of molecular interactions among protein, lipids and water, it should be possible to predict topology by met...
متن کاملProtein engineering and design: from first principles to new technologies.
Lynne Regan studied Biochemistry at Oxford University, where she was awarded the Gibbs Prize for the top First Class Honors Degree of her year. She won a Fulbright Scholarship for graduate studies at MIT, where she obtained her Ph.D. in Biology in 1987. She conducted postdoctoral research in protein design before beginning her career at Yale in 1990. She has received many awards including a Ful...
متن کاملCounterfactual Causality from First Principles?
In this position paper we discuss three main shortcomings of existing approaches to counterfactual causality from the computer science perspective, and sketch lines of work to try and overcome these issues: (1) causality definitions should be driven by a set of precisely specified requirements rather than specific examples; (2) causality frameworks should support system dynamics; (3) causality ...
