Prediction of aggregation rate and aggregation-prone segments in polypeptide sequences.
The reliable identification of beta-aggregating stretches in protein sequences is essential for the development of therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as other pathological conditions associated with protein deposition. Here, a model based on physicochemical properties and computational design of beta-aggregating peptide sequences is shown to be able to predict ...
متن کاملSequence dependent aggregation of peptides and fibril formation.
Deciphering the links between amino acid sequence and amyloid fibril formation is key for understanding protein misfolding diseases. Here we use Monte Carlo simulations to study the aggregation of short peptides in a coarse-grained model with hydrophobic-polar (HP) amino acid sequences and correlated side chain orientations for hydrophobic contacts. A significant heterogeneity is observed in th...
متن کاملArabidopsis nuclear-encoded plastid transit peptides contain multiple sequence subgroups with distinctive chloroplast-targeting sequence motifs.
The N-terminal transit peptides of nuclear-encoded plastid proteins are necessary and sufficient for their import into plastids, but the information encoded by these transit peptides remains elusive, as they have a high sequence diversity and lack consensus sequences or common sequence motifs. Here, we investigated the sequence information contained in transit peptides. Hierarchical clustering ...
متن کاملTargeting, Segments and Positioning
Different consumers have varying desires and interests: witness the extensive array of products on supermarket shelves. This variety stems from diverse buying practices and basic variations of customers' needs and the benefits they seek from products. It is almost impossible to satisfy all customers in a market with a single product or service. Companies have responded by offering a proliferati...
متن کاملA Consensus Method for the Prediction of ‘Aggregation-Prone’ Peptides in Globular Proteins
The purpose of this work was to construct a consensus prediction algorithm of 'aggregation-prone' peptides in globular proteins, combining existing tools. This allows comparison of the different algorithms and the production of more objective and accurate results. Eleven (11) individual methods are combined and produce AMYLPRED2, a publicly, freely available web tool to academic users (http://b...
