Gauge field theory of chirally folded homopolymers with applications to folded proteins.
We combine the principle of gauge invariance with extrinsic string geometry to develop a lattice model that can be employed to theoretically describe properties of chiral, unbranched homopolymers. We find that in its low temperature phase the model is in the same universality class with proteins that are deposited in the Protein Data Bank, in the sense of the compactness index. We apply the mod...
متن کاملGaussian Dynamics of Folded Proteins
Vibrational dynamics of folded proteins is studied using a Gaussian model in which the protein is viewed as a network, residues representing the junctions, and the connectivity being established by a single parameter harmonic potential. Application to seven proteins showed that the local packing density plays a major role in determining the vibrational spectrum at time scales of picoseconds. At...
متن کاملAlternatively folded proteins with unexpected beneficial functions.
HAMLET (human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells) and its related partially unfolded protein-fatty acid complexes are novel biomolecular nanoparticles that possess relatively selective cytotoxic activities towards tumour cells. One of the key characteristics is the requirement for the protein to be partially unfolded, hence endowing native proteins with additional functions in the altern...
متن کاملTopological solitons and folded proteins.
We argue that protein loops can be described by topological domain-wall solitons that interpolate between ground states which are the α helices and β strands. We present an energy function that realizes loops as soliton solutions to its equation of motion, and apply these solitons to model a number of biologically active proteins including 1VII, 2RB8, and 3EBX (Protein Data Bank codes). In all ...
متن کاملNear-Field Focused Folded Transmitarray Antenna for Medical Applications
─ A near-field focused folded transmitarray antenna is proposed at 2.45 GHz for medical applications. The proposed folded transmitarray construction introduces compact design, low profile, and reduced fabrication cost with focused power in both the near-field and far-field regions of the antenna. The transmitarray consists of a feeding horn antenna embedded centrally in the transmitarray struct...
