Beta-Sheet Structure Prediction Methods
The amino acid sequence rules that correspond to beta-sheet structures in proteins are still not well understood. Current protein structure prediction methods are more accurate for alpha-helical structures than for beta-sheet structures. One reason that beta-strand structure prediction is more difficult is because of its high prevalence of nonlocal interactions between regions of the protein ch...
متن کاملThermodynamics of beta-sheet formation in polyglutamine.
The role of beta-sheets in the early stages of protein aggregation, specifically amyloid formation, remains unclear. Interpretations of kinetic data have led to a specific model for the role of beta-sheets in polyglutamine aggregation. According to this model, monomeric polyglutamine, which is intrinsically disordered, goes through a rare conversion into an ordered, metastable, beta-sheeted sta...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying sequence-independent beta-sheet formation
We investigate the formation of β-sheet structures in proteins without sequence-dependent side-chain interactions. To accomplish this, we introduce a model which explicitly incorporates both solvation effects and the angular dependence (on the protein backbone) of hydrogen bond formation. The thermodynamics of this model is studied by exploring the density of states for the entire system and th...

متن کاملTwo-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of antiparallel beta-sheet secondary structure.
We investigate the sensitivity of femtosecond Fourier transform two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to protein secondary structure with a study of antiparallel beta-sheets. The results show that 2D IR spectroscopy is more sensitive to structural differences between proteins than traditional infrared spectroscopy, providing an observable that allows comparison to quantitative models of protein...
