Structural Proteomics: Inferring Function from Protein Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe how knowledge of three dimensional protein structure can add to the understanding of as yet functionally unannotated protein sequences. Structure determination may reveal that the new protein shares structural similarity with a previously observed structure or that it is a novel fold. The manner in which structure can be used to suggest the function of a protein will depend on the number and diversity of homologous sequences and the extent to which these sequences are functionally characterized. These factors are discussed with reference to a number of illustrative examples of structures solved by structural genomics initiatives.

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches
Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...

In this study, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was prepared using a facile electrochemical technique. Four samples were synthesized in 0, 20, 40 and 60°C by electrochemical pulse deposition and were then calcined at 1200°C. The effect of synthesis temperature on morphology and structure of YAG was studied using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron micro...

Backgroud: Protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. Different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. In conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins inter...
