Protein Structure: Why have six-fold symmetry?
Why do proteins proteins that encircle DNA have six-fold symmetry? One important factor may be the economy in protein mass with which DNA can be encircled by six globular subunits arranged in a ring.
متن کاملWhy does a protein fold?
With the help of lattice Monte Carlo modelling of heteropolymers, we show that the necessary condition for a protein to fold on short call is to proceed through partially folded intermediates. These elementary structures are formed at an early stage in the folding process and contain, at the local level, essentially all of the amino acids found in the folding core (transition state) of the prot...
متن کاملHardness and Elastic Modulus on Six-Fold Symmetry Gold Nanoparticles
The chemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles (NP) by using gold (III) chloride trihydrate (HAuCl∙3H₂O) and sodium citrate as a reducing agent in aqueous conditions at 100 °C is presented here. Gold nanoparticles areformed by a galvanic replacement mechanism as described by Lee and Messiel. Morphology of gold-NP was analyzed by way of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy; results ind...
متن کاملRecognizing the fold of a protein structure
This paper reports a graph-theoretic program, GRATH, that rapidly, and accurately, matches a novel structure against a library of domain structures to find the most similar ones. GRATH generates distributions of scores by comparing the novel domain against the different types of folds that have been classified previously in the CATH database of structural domains. GRATH uses a measure of simila...
متن کاملProtein Structure Comparison Based on Fold Evolution
The paper presents a protein structure comparison algorithm that is capable to identify specific fold mutations between two proteins. The search for such mutations is based on structure evolution models suggesting that, similarly as sequences, protein folds (at least partially) evolve by a stepwise process, where each step comprises comparatively simple changes affecting few secondary structure...
