Why does a protein fold?
With the help of lattice Monte Carlo modelling of heteropolymers, we show that the necessary condition for a protein to fold on short call is to proceed through partially folded intermediates. These elementary structures are formed at an early stage in the folding process and contain, at the local level, essentially all of the amino acids found in the folding core (transition state) of the prot...
متن کاملHow do chaperonins fold protein?
Protein folding is a biological process that is essential for the proper functioning of proteins in all living organisms. In cells, many proteins require the assistance of molecular chaperones for their folding. Chaperonins belong to a class of molecular chaperones that have been extensively studied. However, the mechanism by which a chaperonin mediates the folding of proteins is still controve...
متن کاملEvolution Bringing Molecules into the Fold
Introduction though their unusual syncitium might be peculiarly conducive to such propagation, some evidence suggests When discussing organic evolution the only point of hexactinellids are the most primitive of the sponges agreement seems to be: " It happened. " Thereafter, there (Mü ller et al., 1998). With such features, sponges seem is little consensus, which at first sight must seem rather ...
متن کاملProtein Structure: Why have six-fold symmetry?
Why do proteins proteins that encircle DNA have six-fold symmetry? One important factor may be the economy in protein mass with which DNA can be encircled by six globular subunits arranged in a ring.
