Structural Characteristics of Stable Folding Intermediates of Yeast Iso-1-Cytochrome-c
Cytochrome-c (cyt-c) is an electron transport protein, and it is present throughout the evolution. More than 280 sequences have been reported in the protein sequence database (www.uniprot.org). Though sequentially diverse, cyt-c has essentially retained its tertiary structure or fold. Thus a vast data set of varied sequences with retention of similar structure and fun...
متن کاملThe protein folding problem: a biophysical enigma.
Protein folding, the problem of how an amino acid sequence folds into a unique three-dimensional shape, has been a long-standing problem in biology. The success of genome-wide sequencing efforts has increased the interest in understanding the protein folding enigma, because realizing the value of the genomic sequences rests on the accuracy with which the encoded gene products are understood. Al...
متن کاملA Statistical Model for Predicting Protein Folding Rates from Amino Acid Sequence with Structural Class Information
Prediction of protein folding rates from amino acid sequences is one of the most important challenges in molecular biology. In this work, I have related the protein folding rates with physical-chemical, energetic and conformational properties of amino acid residues. I found that the classification of proteins into different structural classes shows an excellent correlation between amino acid pr...
متن کاملP-31: The Alteration of SpermatogenesisHas A Correlation with Sertoli Cell Mitochondrial Abnormal Morphology in Cytotoxicity of Testicular Tissue Mediatedwith Monosodium
Background: Male infertility has many causes, including genetic infertility. The NOP2/Sun domain family, member7 (Nsun7) gene, which encodes putative methyltransferase Nsun7, has a role in sperm motility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the T26248G polymorphism on Nsun7 protein function and its role in male infertility. Materials and Methods: Semen samples were col...
متن کاملIntrinsic Relationship of Amino Acid Composition/Occurrence with Topological Parameters and Protein Folding Rates
Understanding the relationship between amino acid sequences and folding rates of proteins is an important task in computational and molecular biology. It has been shown that topological parameters, contact order, long-range order and total contact distance relate well with protein folding rates. In this work, we have systematically analyzed the relationship between amino acid composition/occurr...
