Continuum secondary structure captures protein flexibility.
The DSSP program assigns protein secondary structure to one of eight states. This discrete assignment cannot describe the continuum of thermal fluctuations. Hence, a continuous assignment is proposed. Technically, the continuum results from averaging over ten discrete DSSP assignments with different hydrogen bond thresholds. The final continuous assignment for a single NMR model successfully re...
متن کاملThe Protein Secondary Structure Flexibility
Modeling protein flexibility is a long standing challenge in computational biology with a special impact to protein docking. Relating problems are protein structures alignment and identification of flexible and rigid protein regions, as well as a general definition of a region degree of flexibility. Determination of protein flexibility from a single protein conformation, so called apriori appro...
متن کاملProtein secondary structure prediction.
The past year has seen a consolidation of protein secondary structure prediction methods. The advantages of prediction from an aligned family of proteins have been highlighted by several accurate predictions made 'blind', before any X-ray or NMR structure was known for the family. New techniques that apply machine learning and discriminant analysis show promise as alternatives to neural networks.
متن کاملProtein Structure along the Order–Disorder Continuum
Thermal fluctuations cause proteins to adopt an ensemble of conformations wherein the relative stability of the different ensemble members is determined by the topography of the underlying energy landscape. "Folded" proteins have relatively homogeneous ensembles, while "unfolded" proteins have heterogeneous ensembles. Hence, the labels "folded" and "unfolded" represent attempts to provide a qua...
متن کاملBand 3 protein: structure, flexibility and function.
The electroneutral exchange of chloride and bicarbonate across the human erythrocyte membrane is facilitated by Band 3, a 911 amino acid glycoprotein. The 43 kDa amino-terminal cytosolic domain binds the cytoskeleton, haemoglobin and glycolytic enzymes. The 52 kDa carboxyl-terminal membrane domain mediates anion transport. The protein is a functional dimer, in which the two subunits probably in...
