Methodologies for target selection in structural genomics.

چکیده
As the number of complete genomes that have been sequenced keeps growing, unknown areas of the protein space are revealed and new horizons open up. Most of this information will be fully appreciated only when the structural information about the encoded proteins becomes available. The goal of structural genomics is to direct large-scale efforts of protein structure determination, so as to increase the impact of these efforts. This review focuses on current approaches in structural genomics aimed at selecting representative proteins as targets for structure determination. We will discuss the concept of representative structures/folds, the current methodologies for identifying those proteins, and computational techniques for identifying proteins which are expected to adopt new structural folds.

Prediction of the amount of secondary structure of proteins using unassigned NMR spectra: A tool for target selection in structural proteomics
With the advent of structural genomics, the need for fast structural information about unknown proteins has increased. We describe a new methodology, based on C, N and H chemical shift dispersion to predict the amount of secondary structure of unassigned proteins from their Nand/or C-edited heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) spectra. This methodology has been coded into a software ca...

Automatic target selection for structural genomics on eukaryotes.
A central goal of structural genomics is to experimentally determine representative structures for all protein families. At least 14 structural genomics pilot projects are currently investigating the feasibility of high-throughput structure determination; the National Institutes of Health funded nine of these in the United States. Initiatives differ in the particular subset of "all families" on...
متن کاملMaking Decisions for Structural Genomics
A large number of structural genomics programmes have been established worldwide with the common aim of large-scale, high-throughput protein structure determination. Due to the considerable challenges posed by the experimental methods of structural determination (primarily X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) it is important to select and prioritise candidate molec...
متن کاملTarget space for structural genomics revisited
MOTIVATION Structural genomics eventually aims at determining structures for all proteins. However, in the beginning experimentalists are likely to focus on globular proteins to achieve a rapid basic coverage of protein sequence space. How many proteins will structural genomics have to target? How many proteins will be excluded since we already have structural information for these or since the...
