Protein Comparison Methods for Structure Determination
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a brief review of methods for protein structure comparison. We also present a novel idea for comparing homo-oligomeric protein complexes by using a simplified representation of the protein that takes advantage of the symmetry present in the protein. We compare this method to other similar protein comparison methods in computational experiments.

In silico Analysis and Molecular Modeling of RNA Polymerase, Sigma S (RpoS) Protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
Background: Sigma factors are proteins that regulate transcription in bacteria. Sigma factors can be activated in response to different environmental conditions. The rpoS (RNA polymerase, sigma S) gene encodes sigma-38 (σ38, or RpoS), a 37.8 kDa protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains. RpoS is a central regulator of the general stress response and operates in both retroa...
متن کاملProtein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches
DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
متن کاملDetermination and comparison of forage quality of cultivated ecotypes of two species of high-yielding herbaceous Astragalus (Astragalus brevidens and Astragalus vegetus)
Forage quality is one of the most important factors that is necessary for proper nutritional management of livestock from rangelands. The most important quality factors of plants are crude protein, ADF, crude fiber, metabolic energy and digestible dry matter. The present study was conducted to evaluate the forage quality of high-yielding herbaceous species (Astragalus brevidens and Astragalus v...

A new structure related to previously reported structure of 12-tungstoborate Keggin-type polyoxometalate, K5[BW12O40], was synthesized and its characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction shows the polymorph structure. Further attempts have been performed to provide three component compounds based on L-proline, lanthanoid cation and K5[BW12O40] (BW12 (II)) under hydrothermal conditions ...

The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...
