Protein topology determines binding mechanism.
Protein recognition and binding, which result in either transient or long-lived complexes, play a fundamental role in many biological functions, but sometimes also result in pathologic aggregates. We use a simplified simulation model to survey a range of systems where two highly flexible protein chains form a homodimer. In all cases, this model, which corresponds to a perfectly funneled energy ...
متن کاملNotch Transmembrane Domain: Secondary Structure and Topology
The Notch signaling pathway is critical in development, neuronal maintenance, and hematopoiesis. An obligate step in the activation of this pathway is cleavage of its transmembrane (TM) domain by γ-secretase. While the soluble domains have been extensively studied, little has been done to characterize its TM and flanking juxtamembrane (JM) segments. Here, we present the results of nuclear magne...
متن کاملProtein secondary structure prediction.
The past year has seen a consolidation of protein secondary structure prediction methods. The advantages of prediction from an aligned family of proteins have been highlighted by several accurate predictions made 'blind', before any X-ray or NMR structure was known for the family. New techniques that apply machine learning and discriminant analysis show promise as alternatives to neural networks.
متن کاملThe Protein Secondary Structure Flexibility
Modeling protein flexibility is a long standing challenge in computational biology with a special impact to protein docking. Relating problems are protein structures alignment and identification of flexible and rigid protein regions, as well as a general definition of a region degree of flexibility. Determination of protein flexibility from a single protein conformation, so called apriori appro...
متن کاملPrediction of Protein Secondary Structure
In the wake of large-scale DNA sequencing projects, accurate tools are needed to predict protein structures. The problem of predicting protein structure from DNA sequence remains fundamentally unsolved even after more than three decades of intensive research. In this paper, fundamental theory of the protein structure will be presented as a general guide to protein secondary structure prediction...
