Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

10.0K
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....

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

15.0K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

92.2K
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...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

5.3K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

12.5K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Structural biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Ab initio protein structure prediction accuracy improves with evolutionary information, specifically intra-protein residue-residue contacts.
  • Existing structure prediction protocols require refinement to effectively utilize contact predictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel protein structure prediction protocol, RASREC, tailored for evolutionary contact restraints.
  • To assess RASREC's performance against established methods using a benchmark dataset.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of evolutionary contact information with Rosetta's resolution-adapted structural recombination (RASREC) approach.
  • Testing the RASREC protocol on a benchmark set of 28 globular proteins.

Main Results:

  • RASREC demonstrated improved sampling, convergence, and robustness compared to the classic Rosetta ab initio protocol.
  • The protocol achieved a significant improvement in average TM-score from 0.55 to 0.72 on the benchmark set.
  • RASREC showed only a slight reduction in accuracy even with lower contact prediction accuracy, beneficial for proteins with limited homologs.

Conclusions:

  • RASREC is an effective protein structure prediction strategy, particularly for utilizing evolutionary contact data.
  • The protocol offers enhanced accuracy and robustness, advancing the field of ab initio protein modeling.
