Synthetic beta-solenoid proteins with the fragment-free computational design of a beta-hairpin extension.
The ability to design and construct structures with atomic level precision is one of the key goals of nanotechnology. Proteins offer an attractive target for atomic design because they can be synthesized chemically or biologically and can self-assemble. However, the generalized protein folding and design problem is unsolved. One approach to simplifying the problem is to use a repetitive protein...
متن کاملOn a $k$-extension of the Nielsen's $beta$-Function
Motivated by the $k$-digamma function, we introduce a $k$-extension of the Nielsen's $beta$-function, and further study some properties and inequalities of the new function.
متن کاملMolecular dynamics-based strength estimates of beta solenoid proteins.
The use of beta solenoid proteins as functionalizable, nanoscale, self-assembling molecular building blocks may have many applications, including templating the growth of wires or higher-dimensional structures. By understanding their mechanical strengths, we can efficiently design the proteins for specific functions. We present a study of the mechanical properties of seven beta solenoid protein...
متن کاملMinimalist protein design: a beta-hairpin peptide that binds ssDNA.
A 28-residue beta-hairpin dimer (WKWK)2 with two Trp and two Lys residues on one face of each beta-sheet was shown to form a complex with single-stranded oligonucleotides at low micromolar concentrations. Each beta-hairpin of the dimer contains a cross-strand Trp-Trp pair in a diagonal orientation which has previously been shown to create a cleft for the intercalation of aromatic guests such as...
متن کاملIn vivo screening identifies a highly folded beta-hairpin peptide with a structured extension.
The conventional approach for developing folded peptides involves chemical synthesis of systematically modified peptide variants and individual characterization by circular dichroism and NMR spectroscopy. The use of synthetic peptides and reliance on low-throughput characterization techniques necessarily restricts the sequence diversity that can be explored, though efforts have been made to ove...
