Development of unified statistical potentials describing protein-protein interactions.
A residue-based and a heavy atom-based statistical pair potential are developed for use in assessing the strength of protein-protein interactions. To ensure the quality of the potentials, a nonredundant, high-quality dimer database is constructed. The protein complexes in this dataset are checked by a literature search to confirm that they form multimers, and the pairwise amino acid preference ...
متن کاملProtein Thermostability Prediction within Homologous Families Using Temperature-Dependent Statistical Potentials
The ability to rationally modify targeted physical and biological features of a protein of interest holds promise in numerous academic and industrial applications and paves the way towards de novo protein design. In particular, bioprocesses that utilize the remarkable properties of enzymes would often benefit from mutants that remain active at temperatures that are either higher or lower than t...
متن کاملModel of protein fragments and statistical potentials
We discuss a model of protein conformations where the conformations are combinations of short fragments from some small set. For these fragments we consider a distribution of frequencies of occurrence of pairs (sequence of amino acids, conformation), averaged over some balls in the spaces of sequences and conformations. These frequencies can be estimated due to smallness of the ε–entropy of the...
متن کاملToward tunable RNA thermo-switches for temperature dependent gene expression
Background RNA thermometers are mRNA strands with a temperature dependent secondary structure: depending on the spatial conformation, the mRNA strand can get translated (on-state) or can be inaccessible for ribosomes binding (off-state).These have been found in a number of micro-organisms (mainly pathogens), where they are used to adaptively regulate the gene expression, in response to changes ...
متن کاملStability Curve Prediction of Homologous Proteins Using Temperature-Dependent Statistical Potentials
The unraveling and control of protein stability at different temperatures is a fundamental problem in biophysics that is substantially far from being quantitatively and accurately solved, as it requires a precise knowledge of the temperature dependence of amino acid interactions. In this paper we attempt to gain insight into the thermal stability of proteins by designing a tool to predict the f...
