Stability Threshold as a Selection Principle for Protein Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sensitivity of the native states of protein-like heteropolymers to mutations modelled as perturbations in the interaction potential between amino acids is studied. The stability threshold against mutations is shown to be zero for random heteropolymers on a lattice in two dimensions, whereas a design procedure modelling evolution produces a non-zero threshold. We introduce an evolution-like protein design procedure based on an optimization of the stability threshold that is shown to naturally ensure thermodynamic stability as well.

The production of biotechnological drug proteins plays an important role against disease. The process of producing drug recombinant proteins is not a direct path, because it requires a lot of work and on the other hand, one of the important and significant aspects in the production of proteins is the discussion of their stability and solubility during the expression and purification process. Pr...

In this paper, stability of slopes with a shallow foundation located on top including the shape of the failure mechanism is investigated in static and seismic states. This is a three dimensional problem which is analyzed two dimensionally because 3D analyses are complex and appropriate softwares are not available. The conventional method of bearing capacity evaluation of foundations on top of ...
متن کاملA Multiple Objective Nonlinear Programming Model for Site Selection of the Facilities Based on the Passive Defense Principles
One of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. In this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. The purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...
متن کاملAn Approach to the Design of a Particulate System for Oral Protein Delivery .II. Preparation and Stability Study of rhGH-Loaded Microspheres in Simulated Gastrointestinal Fluids
The delivery of therapeutic proteins has gained momentum with development of biotechnology. However, large molecular weight, hydrophilic nature and susceptibility to harsh environment of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) resulted in low absorption. The main objective of this work was the design of a particulate system for oral delivery of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the basis of parti...
