Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

7.2K
Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.
The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence....

Protein Families

13.3K
Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Protein-protein Interfaces

12.6K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Protein and Protein Structure

72.0K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Area of Science:

  • Structural Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database has been a key resource for organizing protein structures.
  • A need exists for a more advanced framework for protein structure annotation and classification.
  • SCOP2 is developed as a successor to SCOP, aiming to improve upon its predecessor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce SCOP2, a novel structural classification of proteins.
  • To provide an advanced framework for protein structure annotation and classification.
  • To organize structurally characterized proteins based on structural and evolutionary relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new protein classification system, SCOP2.
  • Utilizing a directed acyclic graph to represent protein classification.
  • Defining nodes as regions of protein structure and sequence with many-to-many relationships.

Main Results:

  • A prototype of the SCOP2 classification system is presented.
  • SCOP2 offers a new approach to protein classification, distinct from SCOP.
  • The new system retains the beneficial features of SCOP.

Conclusions:

  • SCOP2 provides a more advanced framework for protein structure annotation and classification.
