Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

87.6K
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...

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...

Space Trusses

1.3K
A space truss is a three-dimensional counterpart of a planar truss. These structures consist of members connected at their ends, often utilizing ball-and-socket joints to create a stable and versatile framework. The space truss is widely used in various construction projects due to its adaptability and capacity to withstand complex loads.
At the core of a space truss lies the fundamental unit known as the tetrahedron. This structure is composed of six members that form a three-dimensional shape...

State Space Representation01:27

State Space Representation

573
The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics and Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Evolution
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • Protein space is shaped by 3.7 billion years of evolution and physicochemical constraints.
  • Distinguishing evolutionary relationships from physicochemical effects is challenging.
  • Structural similarity often reflects physicochemical constraints, while sequence similarity suggests evolutionary links.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore methods for understanding protein structure space.
  • To investigate the use of different entities, similarity measures, and representations in protein analysis.
  • To demonstrate a DIY approach for navigating protein space and inferring function.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of protein entities (chains, domains, themes) using various similarity measures (sequence, structure, function).
  • Utilizing global (networks, maps) and local representations of protein relationships.
  • Network construction based on sequence similarities for substrate-binding proteins.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the utility of network representations for understanding protein relationships.
  • Identified a potential methionine-binding function for a protein of unknown function (pdb ID 4ntl) through sequence similarity network analysis.
  • Suggested a putative binding mechanism for this protein.

Conclusions:

  • Network-based analysis of sequence similarities is a powerful tool for inferring protein function and evolutionary relationships.
  • This approach aids in understanding protein biophysics and can inform protein design and annotation algorithms.
