چکیده

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) [3] is the most important depository of protein structural information, containing more than 42,000 deposited entries today. Because of its inhomogeneous structure, its fully automated processing is almost impossible. In a previous work, we cleaned and re-structured the entries in the Protein Data Bank, and from the result we have built the RS-PDB database [11]. Using the RS-PDB database, here we draw a Ramachandran-plot from 6,593 “perfect” polypeptide chains found in the PDB, containing 1,192,689 residues, this is more than tenfold increase in the size of data analyzed before this work. The density of the data points makes possible to draw a logarithmic heat map enhanced Ramachandran map, showing the fine inner structure of the right-handed α-helix region.

The amino acid dipeptide: small but still influential after 50 years.

T he conformation of a polypeptide chain can be described with good accuracy in terms of a unique set of values of backbone torsion angles—two for each amino acid residue— called φ and ψ (Fig. 1); bond lengths and bond angles are given fixed canonical values, and the peptide bond linking successive residues also is fixed as a planar structure. As was shown by Ramachandran and coworkers nearly 5...

Conformational analysis of N- and C-terminally protected tripeptide model glycyl-isoleucine-glycyl: An ab initio and DFT study

An ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) study about conformational analysis of tripeptide model HCO−GLY−L−ILE−GLY−NH2 is presented. The tripeptide was scanned about initial, central, and final residues, separately while for every scanning procedure the two other residues had been kept in the β conformation and side chain (SC) dihedral angles were maintained on the gauche− (g‾) state (χ...

Mutants O F Escherzchza Colz Defective in the B Protein of Tryptophan Synthetase. Iv: Recombinational Map

ARLIER publications described the isolation and classification of mutants in Ethe trpB gene of Escherichia coli (CRAWFORD and JOHNSON 1963) and the use of deletions to order these markers within the gene (CRAWFORD and JOHNSON 1964; CRAWFORD et al. 1970). Our objective throughout this work has been to correlate genetic fine structure with specific structural and enzymatic defects. It is often as...

Identification of a 34-kD polypeptide as a light chain of microtubule- associated protein-1 (MAP-1) and its association with a MAP-1 peptide that binds to microtubules

We examined the association of a 34-kD light chain component to the heavy chains of MAP-1 using a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the 34-kD component and labels neuronal microtubules in a specific and saturable manner. Immunoprecipitation of MAP-1 heavy chains together with the 34-kD component by the antibody indicates that the 34-kD polypeptide forms a complex with MAP-1 heavy chai...

Molecular Structure Prediction by Global Optimization

The CGU (convex global underestimator) global optimization method is used to predict the minimum energy structures, i.e. folded states, of small protein sequences. Computational results obtained from the CGU method applied to actual protein sequences using a detailed polypeptide model and a differentiable form of the Sun/Thomas/Dill potential energy function are presented. This potential functi...
