Protein sequence entropy is closely related to packing density and hydrophobicity.
We investigated the correlation between the Shannon information entropy, 'sequence entropy', with respect to the local flexibility of native globular proteins as described by inverse packing density. These are determined at each residue position for a total set of 130 query proteins, where sequence entropies are calculated from each set of aligned residues. For the accompanying aggregate set of...
متن کاملCore-packing constraints, hydrophobicity and protein design.
Recent crystallographic studies have shown that both backbone and side-chain adjustments occur when different core-packing arrangements are accommodated in proteins. Thus, modeling methods, which have typically considered only side-chain adjustments, must now also account for backbone movements to accurately predict the energies and structures of mutated or designed proteins. The 'plasticity' o...
متن کاملMetric to distinguish closely related domain families using sequence information.
Engineered antibodies are emerging as a promising class of therapeutic biomolecules, as well as having applications in medical research. Knowledge on conserved functional and structural regions within antibody domains is imperative in order to rationally design stable and specific antibodies. Of particular interest for the design of therapeutics are antibody variable and constant domains, which...
متن کاملThe urban heat island effect is closely related to cicada density in metropolitan Seoul
Background. Cryptotympana atrata and Hyalessa fuscata are the most abundant cicada species in the Korean Peninsula, where their population densities are higher in urban areas than in rural ones. The urban heat island (UHI) effect, wherein human activities cause urban areas to be significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas, may underlie this difference. We predicted a positive relationship...
متن کاملDissecting the roles of local packing density and longer-range effects in protein sequence evolution.
What are the structural determinants of protein sequence evolution? A number of site-specific structural characteristics have been proposed, most of which are broadly related to either the density of contacts or the solvent accessibility of individual residues. Most importantly, there has been disagreement in the literature over the relative importance of solvent accessibility and local packing...
