Correlation between side chain mobility and conformation in protein structures.
Thermal factors of protein atoms as determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques show a tendency to be larger in side chains with unfavourable local conformations rather than in those displaying conformational energy minima. It follows that side chain atoms are more mobile if they are in a non-rotameric configuration and that the stereochemistry of protein structures cannot be fully assessed...
متن کاملSide-Chain Clusters in Protein Structures
Identification of side-chain clusters in protein structures is important from protein stability, function and folding point of view. Specific side-chain interactions in the protein are important for the stabilization of the tertiary structure [2]. Hydrophobic and charged clusters on the protein surface are important in protein-protein recognition and protein-DNA interaction [1, 6]. Often a netw...
متن کاملPrediction of protein side-chain conformation by packing optimization.
We have developed a rapid and completely automatic method for prediction of protein side-chain conformation, applying the simulated annealing algorithm to optimization of side-chain packing (van der Waals) interactions. The method directly attacks the combinatorial problem of simultaneously predicting many residues' conformation, solving in 8 to 12 hours problems for which the systematic search...
متن کاملSCit: web tools for protein side chain conformation analysis
SCit is a web server providing services for protein side chain conformation analysis and side chain positioning. Specific services use the dependence of the side chain conformations on the local backbone conformation, which is described using a structural alphabet that describes the conformation of fragments of four-residue length in a limited library of structural prototypes. Based on this con...
متن کاملCorrelation of the Side-Chain Hubs with the Functional Residues in DNA Binding Protein Structures
The structure networks of DNA-binding proteins have been constructed and analyzed. The detailed analysis of the networks indicates a strong relation between the positions of the residues interacting with DNA and those that form extensive interactions within the protein structure (called hubs). This study shows that the functional residues in these proteins are held in place by efficient scaffol...
