The structural characterization of protein–protein interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
How protein molecules pack into a crystal remains problematic. Packing units are direct materials for packing into crystals. The group generator method is introduced for automatically identifying the packing unit. By introducing deviations into the nucleation stage of crystallization, we proved that these deviations diminish in further packing. This process illus trates how translation symmetries are achieved by the growing of nuclei. Two effects, the size effect and the close up effect, are found to behave differently in this process.

Study of PKA binding sites in cAMP-signaling pathway using structural protein-protein interaction networks
Backgroud: Protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. Different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. In conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins inter...
