Protein Folding and Misfolding on Surfaces
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation, as well as the way misfolded and aggregated proteins affects cell viability are emerging as key themes in molecular and structural biology and in molecular medicine. Recent advances in the knowledge of the biophysical basis of protein folding have led to propose the energy landscape theory which provides a consistent framework to better understand ho...
متن کاملProtein Stability, Folding, Disaggregation and Etiology of Conformational Malfunctions
Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...
متن کاملCombining sequence and structural profiles for protein solvent accessibility prediction.
Solvent accessibility is an important structural feature for a protein. We propose a new method for solvent accessibility prediction that uses known structure and sequence information more efficiently. We first estimate the relative solvent accessibility of the query protein using fuzzy mean operator from the solvent accessibilities of known structure fragments that have similar sequences to th...
متن کاملEnhanced sampling and applications in protein folding in explicit solvent.
We report a single-copy tempering method for simulating large complex systems. In a generalized ensemble, the method uses runtime estimate of the thermal average energy computed from a novel integral identity to guide a continuous temperature-space random walk. We first validated the method in a two-dimensional Ising model and a Lennard-Jones liquid system. It was then applied to folding of thr...
متن کاملSolvent viscosity and friction in protein folding dynamics.
The famous Kramers rate theory for diffusion-controlled reactions has been extended in numerous ways and successfully applied to many types of reactions. Its application to protein folding reactions has been of particular interest in recent years, as many researchers have performed experiments and simulations to test whether folding reactions are diffusion-controlled, whether the solvent is the...
