MUSTANG-MR Structural Sieving Server: Applications in Protein Structural Analysis and Crystallography
BACKGROUND A central tenet of structural biology is that related proteins of common function share structural similarity. This has key practical consequences for the derivation and analysis of protein structures, and is exploited by the process of "molecular sieving" whereby a common core is progressively distilled from a comparison of two or more protein structures. This paper reports a novel ...
متن کاملMUSTANG: a multiple structural alignment algorithm.
Multiple structural alignment is a fundamental problem in structural genomics. In this article, we define a reliable and robust algorithm, MUSTANG (MUltiple STructural AligNment AlGorithm), for the alignment of multiple protein structures. Given a set of protein structures, the program constructs a multiple alignment using the spatial information of the C(alpha) atoms in the set. Broadly based ...
متن کاملPSSweb: protein structural statistics web server
With the increasing number of protein structures available, there is a need for tools capable of automating the comparison of ensembles of structures, a common requirement in structural biology and bioinformatics. PSSweb is a web server for protein structural statistics. It takes as input an ensemble of PDB files of protein structures, performs a multiple sequence alignment and computes structu...
متن کاملNeutron Protein Crystallography. Hydrogen- and Hydration-sensitive Structural Biology
Neutron protein crystallography (NPC) has not substantially contributed to the determination of the folding structures of biological macromolecules. It takes the next step beyond the folding structure of proteins. This paper demonstrates how hydrogen atoms can be seen by NPC and how NPC can explore protonation and deprotonation of amino acid residues, hydration structures, and hydrogen-to-deute...
متن کاملStructural studies of the scrapie prion protein by electron crystallography.
Because the insolubility of the scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)) has frustrated structural studies by x-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, we used electron crystallography to characterize the structure of two infectious variants of the prion protein. Isomorphous two-dimensional crystals of the N-terminally truncated PrP(Sc) (PrP 27-30) and a miniprion (PrP(Sc)106) were identified by negati...
