Covalent Bonding and Lewis Structures02:46

Covalent Bonding and Lewis Structures

60.9K
Compared to ionic bonds, which results from the transfer of electrons between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, covalent bonds result from the mutual attraction of atoms for a “shared” pair of electrons.

Structural Protein Function

29.9K
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...

Protein and Protein Structure

87.1K
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...

Structure and Bonding of Alkenes

20.3K
Olefins, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon–carbon double bonds, are broadly divided into alkenes and cycloalkenes. The general chemical formula of an alkene is CnH2n.
Doubly bonded carbons are sp2 hybridized and have a trigonal planar geometry. The double bond is composed of a σ bond formed by the overlap of hybrid orbitals and a π bond produced by the lateral overlap of unhybridized 2p orbitals on both the carbons. Each carbon atom is...

Mechanical Protein Functions01:58

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.5K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Accurate energy scoring functions are vital for protein structure prediction.
  • Existing knowledge-based functions often neglect bonded potentials, limiting accuracy on distorted conformations.
  • This limitation affects performance on diverse decoy sets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a composite knowledge-based scoring function that integrates both bonded and nonbonded potentials.
  • To address the limitations of current scoring functions in handling distorted protein conformations.
  • To improve the accuracy and reliability of protein structure prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the ITCPS (Integrated Bonded and Nonbonded Potentials Scoring) function.
  • Integrated bonded and nonbonded potentials, orientation-dependent, and hydrophobic interactions.
  • Evaluated ITCPS on 18 diverse decoy sets comprising 927 proteins.

Main Results:

  • ITCPS demonstrated superior performance compared to 51 other scoring functions.
  • Achieved a 90.8% success rate in recognizing native structures among 927 proteins.
  • Showcased a strong ability to identify near-native structures, outperforming existing methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ITCPS scoring function offers enhanced accuracy for protein structure prediction.
  • Integrating bonded and nonbonded interactions improves performance on diverse decoy sets.
