  2. 6. Structural dynamics of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

    Author : Michiel Van Lun; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) assimilates carbon dioxide (CO2) from air into biomass. Due to its slow turnover, the reaction is a rate-limiting step in photosynthetic carbon fixation. READ MORE

  4. 7. Topology Prediction of Membrane Proteins: Why, How and When?

    Author : Karin Melén; Gunnar von Heijne; Hugh Salter; Janet Thornton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane protein; topology prediction; bioinformatics; Theoretical chemistry; Teoretisk kemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins are of broad interest since they constitute a large fraction of the proteome in all organisms, up to 20-30%. They play a crucial role in many cellular processes mediating information flow and molecular transport across otherwise nearly impermeable membranes. READ MORE

  5. 8. The impact of GPCR structures on understanding receptor function and ligand binding

    Author : Anirudh Ranganathan; Jens Carlsson; György Keserű; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik;

    Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest superfamily of eukaryotic membrane proteins and are responsible for the action of nearly 30% of all marketed drugs. For a long period, efforts to study these receptors were limited by the paucity of atomic-resolution structural information. READ MORE

  6. 9. Ensemble methods for protein structure prediction

    Author : Marcin J. Skwark; Arne Elofsson; Michael Tress; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein structure prediction; model quality assessment; contact prediction; homology modeling; ab-initio prediction; consensus prediction; structural bioinformatics; bioinformatics; protein structure; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Proteins play an essential role in virtually all of life's processes. Their function is tightly coupled to the three-dimensional structure they adopt.Solving protein structures experimentally is a complicated, time- and resource-consuming endeavor. READ MORE

  7. 10. Network and gene expression analyses for understanding protein function

    Author : Oliver Frings; Erik Sonnhammer; Rune Linding; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biological networks; network inference; network analysis; clustering; network module; network crosstalk; expression analysis; gene signature; biomarker; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biological function is the result of a complex network of functional associations between genes or their products. Modeling the dynamics underlying biological networks is one of the big challenges in bioinformatics. READ MORE
