2. 1. Structural Information and Hidden Markov Models for Biological Sequence Analysis

   Author : Jeanette Tångrot; Bo Kågström; Uwe H. Sauer; Erik Sonnhammer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HMM; structure alignment; protein structure; secondary structure; remote homologue; annotation; domain family; protein family; protein superfamily; protein fold recognition; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : Bioinformatics is a fast-developing field, which makes use of computational methods to analyse and structure biological data. An important branch of bioinformatics is structure and function prediction of proteins, which is often based on finding relationships to already characterized proteins. READ MORE

4. 2. Protein modularity : Structure and interactions by NMR and SPR

   Author : Amélie Wallenhammar; Maria Sunnerhagen; Björn Wallner; Lotta Tollstoy-Tegler; Helena Berglund; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Protein degradation is a fundamental cornerstone of regulation of protein levels in the human body. For proper function, numerous molecular processes rely on fine-tuned communication through specific interactions between proteins. READ MORE

5. 3. Bioinformatic protein family characterisation

   Author : Joel Hedlund; Bengt Persson; Jaap Heringa; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Biological research is necessary; not only to further our understanding of the processes of life, but also to combat disease, hunger and environmental damage.Bioinformatics is the science of handling biological information. It entails integrating, structuring and analysing the ever-increasing amounts of available biological data. READ MORE

6. 4. The paralemmin protein family : Phosphoproteins involved in filopodia and dendritic spine formation

   Author : Nicole G. Neumann; Klas Kullander; Karin Nordström; Eirc Hanse; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Dendritic spines, which connect neurons with each other, constitute most of the excitatory synapses and undergo experience-dependent neuronal plasticity. The function of dendritic spines and their synaptic strength are highly correlated with morphological changes. READ MORE

7. 5. The birth and growth of the protein folding nucleus : Studies of protein folding focused on critical contacts, topology and ionic interactions

   Author : Linda Hedberg; Mikael Oliveberg; Christopher Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein folding; protein stability; two-state folding; chevron plot; transition-state movements; Hammond behaviour; topology; electrostatic interactions; pH dependence; mass-action; protein engineering; pKa; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Proteins are among the most complex molecules in the cell and they play a major role in life itself. The complexity is not restricted to just structure and function, but also embraces the protein folding reaction. READ MORE
