چکیده

Protein structure prediction from sequence remains a premiere computational problem for modern molecular biology. Just as protein structure prediction may be divided into sub-problems of main-chain and side-chain placement, so the protein structure prediction track this year has been divided into sub-tracks of protein threading (organized by Daniel Fischer and Adam Godzik) and side-chain packing (organized by Su Chung and S. Subbiah). The result is an unusually rich tour through di erent levels of protein structure prediction, from coarse-grained prediction of the tertiary fold to the ne-grained atomic detail of individual side-chains.

Comparative modelling of 3D-structure of Geobacter sp. M21 (a metal reducing bacteria) Mn-Fe superoxide dismutase and its binding properties with bisphenol-A, aminotriazole and ethylene-diurea

Superoxide dismutase play important roles in iron-respiratory bacteria such as Geobacteraceae as an antioxidant defense, and probably an effective enzyme of electron transfer network. Regarding the application of iron-respiratory bacteria in environmental biotechnology particularly biodegradation and bioremediation, understanding the mechanism of inhibition/induction of superoxide dismutase by ...

In vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy

In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...

Study of Nanofibrils Formation of Fibroin Protein in Specific Thermal and Acidity Conditions

Background: Amyloid fibrils are insoluble arranged aggregates of proteins that are fibrillar in structure and related to many diseases (at least 20 types of illnesses) and also create many pathologic conditions. Therefore understanding the circumstance of fibril formation is very important.Objectives: This study aims to work on fibrillar structure formation of fibroin (as a model protein)...

Proteins Separation and Purification Methods with Focus on Chromatography: a Review Study

  Before describing the structure and mechanism of action of a protein, it must first be subject to purification procedure. Protein purification is a set of processes in which one or a small number of proteins are purified from a complex compound that may be a complete cell, tissue, or organism. Understanding the functions, structural properties, and interactions of the protein are directly re...
