Combinatorial approaches to protein stability and structure.
Why do proteins adopt the conformations that they do, and what determines their stabilities? While we have come to some understanding of the forces that underlie protein architecture, a precise, predictive, physicochemical explanation is still elusive. Two obstacles to addressing these questions are the unfathomable vastness of protein sequence space, and the difficulty in making direct physica...
متن کاملHigher-throughput approaches to crystallization and crystal structure determination.
In recent times, there has been a large increase in the number of protein structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Structural genomics initiatives have contributed to this expansion through their focus on high-throughput structural determination. This has fuelled advances in many of the techniques in the pipeline from gene to protein to crystal to structure. These include ligation-indepen...
متن کامل‘Meta’ Approaches to Protein Structure Prediction
The computational assignment of three-dimensional structures to newly determined protein sequences is becoming an increasingly important element in experimental structure determination and in structural genomics (Fischer et al. 2001a). In particular, fold-recognition methods aim to predict approximate three-dimensional (3D) models for proteins bearing no evident sequence similarity to any prote...
متن کاملApplying Constraint Programming to Protein Structure Determination
In this paper, we propose a constraint-based approach to determining protein structures compatible with distance constraints obtained from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data. We compare the performance of our proposed algorithm with DYANA ("Dynamics algorithm for NMR applications” [1]) an existing commercial application based on simulated annealing. For our test case, computation time for DY...
متن کاملSynthetic and semi-synthetic approaches to unprotected N-glycan oxazolines
N-Glycan oxazolines have found widespread use as activated donor substrates for endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) enzymes, an important application that has correspondingly stimulated interest in their production, both by total synthesis and by semi-synthesis using oligosaccharides isolated from natural sources. Amongst the many synthetic approaches reported, the majority rely on the fabr...
