The exchangeability of amino acids in proteins.
The comparative analysis of protein sequences depends crucially on measures of amino acid similarity or distance. Many such measures exist, yet it is not known how well these measures reflect the operational exchangeability of amino acids in proteins, since most are derived by methods that confound a variety of effects, including effects of mutation. In pursuit of a pure measure of exchangeabil...
متن کاملProteins and Amino Acids
Proteins, from the Greek proteios, meaning first, are a class of organic compounds which are present in and vital to every living cell. In the form of skin, hair, callus, cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments, proteins hold together, protect, and provide structure to the body of a multi-celled organism. In the form of enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and globulins, they catalyze, regulate, an...
متن کاملThe Basic Amino Acids of Serum Proteins
The importance of a classification of proteins based on amino acid composition has been previously pointed out (1,2). A measure of success has been achieved only with the keratinoid tissues and the protamines (3). The protamines, moreover, seem to form a special class of proteins. This leaves the keratins as the only true proteins which have been classified on a purely chemical basis. Rlock and...
متن کاملConformations of amino acids in proteins.
The main-chain conformations of 237 384 amino acids in 1042 protein subunits from the PDB were analyzed with Ramachandran plots. The populated areas of the empirical Ramachandran plot differed markedly from the classical plot in all regions. All amino acids in alpha-helices are found within a very narrow range of phi, psi angles. As many as 40% of all amino acids are found in this most populate...
متن کاملHIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF SULFUR MUSTARD REACTION WITH AMINO ACIDS AND PROTEINS
The interaction of sulfur mustard with aminoacids and proteins has been investigated in this study. Rats were injected with sublethal doses of sulfur mustard subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. At different time intervals, plasma and urine samples were collected. The binding affinity of sulfur mustard with urinary and plasma proteins and enzymes was studied for the first time using non-i...
