Protein Conformational Flexibility Analysis with Noisy Data
Protein conformational changes play a critical role in biological functions such as ligand-protein and protein-protein interactions. Due to the noise in structural data, determining salient conformational changes reliably and efficiently is a challenging problem. This paper presents an efficient algorithm for analyzing protein conformational changes, when the data is noisy. It applies a statist...
متن کاملConformational Transition of Cytochrome c
Conformational transitions of oxidized and reduced cytochrome c at various solvent conditions are summarized. Sorbitol stabilizes and NaCl destabilizes native cytochrome c structure against the acid denaturation. In the process of heating, NaCl more strongly stabilizes molten globular cytochtome c state than sorbitol in secondary structure region, but in heme region, sorbitol is stronger stabil...
متن کاملProtein flexibility and rigidity predicted from sequence.
Structural flexibility has been associated with various biological processes such as molecular recognition and catalytic activity. In silico studies of protein flexibility have attempted to characterize and predict flexible regions based on simple principles. B-values derived from experimental data are widely used to measure residue flexibility. Here, we present the most comprehensive large-sca...
متن کاملConformational properties of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c.
Interactions of cytochrome c (cyt c) with cardiolipin (CL) are important for both electron transfer and apoptotic functions of this protein. A sluggish peroxidase in its native state, when bound to CL, cyt c catalyzes CL peroxidation, which contributes to the protein apoptotic release. The heterogeneous CL-bound cyt c ensemble is difficult to characterize with traditional structural methods and...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Analyzing Protein Conformational Flexibility with Noisy Data
Many proteins undergo changes in their structure during biochemical processes such as binding and transport. Such conformational changes are crucial to the functioning of proteins, and by extension, to most biological processes. This thesis describes algorithms for detecting conformational changes from protein structure data. Conformational changes may be determined by comparing protein structu...
