Optimal design of thermally stable proteins
MOTIVATION For many biotechnological purposes, it is desirable to redesign proteins to be more structurally and functionally stable at higher temperatures. For example, chemical reactions are intrinsically faster at higher temperatures, so using enzymes that are stable at higher temperatures would lead to more efficient industrial processes. We describe an innovative and computationally efficie...
متن کاملRational design of thermally stable proteins: relevance to bionanotechnology.
Design of thermally stable proteins is spurred by their applications in bionanotechnology. There are three major issues governing this: first, the upper limit on the temperature at which proteins remain physiologically active and are available for technological applications (answers may emerge from the discovery of new, natural hyperthermophilic enzymes that are active above 125 degrees C or fr...
متن کاملA new approach to the design of uniquely folded thermally stable proteins.
A new computer program (CORE) is described that predicts core hydrophobic sequences of predetermined target protein structures. A novel scoring function is employed, which for the first time incorporates parameters directly correlated to free energies of unfolding (deltaGu), melting temperatures (Tm), and cooperativity. Metropolis-driven simulated annealing and low-temperature Monte Carlo sampl...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Stable Processes
Open loop dynamic stability is a major feature of operability. An optimization approach for open loop stable process design is presented. It is based on Lyapunov’s stability theory and formulated as an eigenvalue optimization problem. The resultant non-linear semi-definite programming problem is reformulated into an interior-point / logarithmic-barriertransformation programming problem. The pro...
متن کاملDesign and synthesis of a thermally stable organic electride.
An electride has been synthesized that is stable to auto-decomposition at room temperature. The key was the theoretically directed synthesis of a per-aza analogue of cryptand[2.2.2] in which each of the linking arms contains a piperazine ring. This complexant was designed to provide strong complexation of Na+ via pre-organization of a "crypt" that contains eight nonreducible tertiary amine nitr...
