Protein and Protein Structure

88.9K
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 Sites

5.2K
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...

Ligand Binding Sites

15.2K
Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Structural Protein Function

30.0K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Computational Biology
  • Proteomics

Background:

  • Glycation, a non-enzymatic reaction between sugars and proteins, is implicated in various diseases.
  • Understanding glycation mechanisms and sites is crucial for disease research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an accurate computational method for identifying protein lysine glycation sites.
  • To enhance the prediction of glycation sites using sequence and structural features.

Main Methods:

  • iProtGly-SS method utilizes features from amino acid composition, secondary structure motifs, and polarity.
  • Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier trained with optimal features selected via group-based forward feature selection.
  • Validation on standard benchmark datasets.

Main Results:

  • The combination of Amino Acid Composition, Secondary Structure Motifs, and Polarity yielded the best performance.
  • iProtGly-SS significantly outperformed existing glycation prediction methods.
  • A publicly available web server (http://brl.uiu.ac.bd/iprotgly-ss/) was implemented.
