Flowering Buds of Globular Proteins: Transpiring Simplicity of Protein Organization
Structural and functional complexity of proteins is dramatically reduced to a simple linear picture when the laws of polymer physics are considered. A basic unit of the protein structure is a nearly standard closed loop of 25-35 amino acid residues, and every globular protein is built of consecutively connected closed loops. The physical necessity of the closed loops had been apparently imposed...
متن کاملStructural hot spots for the solubility of globular proteins.
Natural selection shapes protein solubility to physiological requirements and recombinant applications that require higher protein concentrations are often problematic. This raises the question whether the solubility of natural protein sequences can be improved. We here show an anti-correlation between the number of aggregation prone regions (APRs) in a protein sequence and its solubility, sugg...
متن کاملStructural features that predict real-value fluctuations of globular proteins.
It is crucial to consider dynamics for understanding the biological function of proteins. We used a large number of molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories of nonhomologous proteins as references and examined static structural features of proteins that are most relevant to fluctuations. We examined correlation of individual structural features with fluctuations and further investigated effective c...
متن کاملFamilies and the structural relatedness among globular proteins.
Protein structures come in families. Are families "closely knit" or "loosely knit" entities? We describe a measure of relatedness among polymer conformations. Based on weighted distance maps, this measure differs from existing measures mainly in two respects: (1) it is computationally fast, and (2) it can compare any two proteins, regardless of their relative chain lengths or degree of similari...
متن کاملSequence-structure matching in globular proteins: application to supersecondary and tertiary structure determination.
A methodology designed to address the inverse globular protein-folding problem (the identification of which sequences are compatible with a given three-dimensional structure) is described. By using a library of protein finger-prints, defined by the side chain interaction pattern, it is possible to match each structure to its own sequence in an exhaustive data base search. It is shown that this ...
