Hidden relationships between metalloproteins unveiled by structural comparison of their metal sites
Metalloproteins account for a substantial fraction of all proteins. They incorporate metal atoms, which are required for their structure and/or function. Here we describe a new computational protocol to systematically compare and classify metal-binding sites on the basis of their structural similarity. These sites are extracted from the MetalPDB database of minimal functional sites (MFSs) in me...
متن کاملMinimal Functional Sites in Metalloproteins and Their Usage in Structural Bioinformatics
Metal ions play a functional role in numerous biochemical processes and cellular pathways. Indeed, about 40% of all enzymes of known 3D structure require a metal ion to be able to perform catalysis. The interactions of the metals with the macromolecular framework determine their chemical properties and reactivity. The relevant interactions involve both the coordination sphere of the metal ion a...
متن کاملon translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels
phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...
15 صفحه اولUse of (113)Cd NMR to probe the native metal binding sites in metalloproteins: an overview.
Our laboratories have actively published in this area for several years and the objective of this chapter is to present as comprehensive an overview as possible. Following a brief review of the basic principles associated with (113)Cd NMR methods, we will present the results from a thorough literature search for (113)Cd chemical shifts from metalloproteins. The updated (113)Cd chemical shift fi...
متن کاملDiscovering the electronic circuit diagram of life: structural relationships among transition metal binding sites in oxidoreductases.
Oxidoreductases play a central role in catalysing enzymatic electron-transfer reactions across the tree of life. To first order, the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of these proteins are governed by protein folds associated with specific transition metals and ligands at the active site. A global analysis of holoenzyme structures and functions suggests that there are fewer than approximatel...
