A thermodynamic definition of protein domains.
Protein domains are conspicuous structural units in globular proteins, and their identification has been a topic of intense biochemical interest dating back to the earliest crystal structures. Numerous disparate domain identification algorithms have been proposed, all involving some combination of visual intuition and/or structure-based decomposition. Instead, we present a rigorous, thermodynam...
متن کاملDiscovering Domains Mediating Protein Interactions
Background: Protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information regarding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. The majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. Most of the former studies focus only on interacting domain pairs. However they do not consider the in...
متن کاملThermodynamic basis for promiscuity and selectivity in protein-protein interactions: PDZ domains, a case study.
Like other protein-protein interaction domains, PDZ domains are involved in many key cellular processes. These processes often require that specific multiprotein complexes be assembled, a task that PDZ domains accomplish by binding to specific peptide motifs in target proteins. However, a growing number of experimental studies show that PDZ domains (like other protein-protein interaction domain...
متن کاملA Thermodynamic Definition of Topological Pressure for Non-compact Sets
We give a new definition of topological pressure for arbitrary (noncompact, non-invariant) Borel subsets of metric spaces. This new quantity is defined via a suitable variational principle, leading to an alternative definition of an equilibrium state. We study the properties of this new quantity and compare it with existing notions of topological pressure. We are particularly interested in the ...
