Importance of Protein Folding Sequence-Structure-Function
Protein Structure Prediction (II): Fold Prediction “Understanding protein structure, function and dynamics ranks among the most challenging and fascinating problems faced by science today. Since the function of a protein is related to its three dimensional structure, manipulation of the latter by means of mutation in the protein sequence generates functional diversity. The keys that will help u...
متن کاملProtein folding: from theory to practice.
A quantitative theory of protein folding should make testable predictions using theoretical models and simulations performed under conditions that closely mimic those used in experiments. Typically, in laboratory experiments folding or unfolding is initiated using denaturants or external mechanical force, whereas theories and simulations use temperature as the control parameter, thus making it ...
متن کاملRNA and protein folding: common themes and variations.
Visualizing the navigation of an ensemble of unfolded molecules through the bumpy energy landscape in search of the native state gives a pictorial view of biomolecular folding. This picture, when combined with concepts in polymer theory, provides a unified theory of RNA and protein folding. Just as for proteins, the major folding free energy barrier for RNA scales sublinearly with the number of...
متن کاملFrom protein sequence to function.
As genome sequences and protein structures are deciphered, we wish to predict their corresponding functions. Many functions cannot be told from from the sequence, however, although there has been progress in this quest for an impossible Grail. Furthermore, a structure and its corresponding sequence become most interesting when one knows the function. Inductive reasoning, based on the integratio...
متن کاملSelection originating from protein stability/foldability: Relationships between protein folding free energy, sequence ensemble, and fitness.
Assuming that mutation and fixation processes are reversible Markov processes, we prove that the equilibrium ensemble of sequences obeys a Boltzmann distribution with exp(4Nem(1-1/(2N))), where m is Malthusian fitness and Ne and N are effective and actual population sizes. On the other hand, the probability distribution of sequences with maximum entropy that satisfies a given amino acid composi...
