Understanding hydrogen-bond patterns in proteins using network motifs
UNLABELLED Protein structures can be viewed as networks of contacts (edges) between amino-acid residues (nodes). Here we dissect proteins into sub-graphs consisting of six nodes and their corresponding edges, with an edge being either a backbone hydrogen bond (H-bond) or a covalent interaction. Six thousand three hundred and twenty-two such sub-graphs were found in a large non-redundant dataset...
متن کاملUnderstanding Hydrogen-Bond Patterns in Proteins using a Novel Statistical Model
ion of structural data is essential, since a researcher who is not an expert in the intricacies of structural biology may be overwhelmed by the thousands of details of the ‘All-Atom’ visualization scheme. Moreover, the positions of the protein atoms are in many cases less robust than the interactions they induce. Therefore, interresidues contact maps (or networks) are likely to be informative b...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Hydrogen Bond Using Quantum Chemistry
Understanding the origins and the fundamental nature of the chemical bond has been a central focus of chemists for decades. A chemical bond that has received considerable attention due to its importance in biological phenomena and in the relations between gas and condensed phases is the hydrogen bond, typically a relatively weak interaction involving an electronegative donor X, a hydrogen, and ...
متن کاملHydrogen-bond motifs in the crystals of hydrophobic amino acids.
A computer program has been developed to survey a set of crystal structures for hydrogen-bond motifs. Possible ring and chain motifs are generated automatically from a user-defined list of interacting molecular fragments and intermolecular interactions. The new program was used to analyse the hydrogen-bond networks in the crystals of 52 zwitterionic alpha-amino acids. All the possible chain mot...
متن کاملA prevalent intraresidue hydrogen bond stabilizes proteins
Current limitations in de novo protein structure prediction and design suggest an incomplete understanding of the interactions that govern protein folding. Here we demonstrate that previously unappreciated hydrogen bonds occur within proteins between the amide proton and carbonyl oxygen of the same residue. Quantum calculations, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy...
