  2. 1. Hydrophobicity Patterns in Protein Folding

    Author : Frank Potthast; Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global optimization; multisequence; Fourier analysis; hydrophobicity; protein folding; simulated tempering; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; kvantmekanik; klassisk mekanik; gravitation; relativitet; termodynamik; statistisk fysik; alpha-helix; protein design.; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; quantum mechanics; classical mechanics; relativity; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Potthast;

    Abstract : The protein folding problem is addressed focussing on the hydro- phobicity patterns in the amino acid sequences and structures. Both real and model proteins are investigated. The hydrophobicity pattern of real proteins is probed in two ways. First, it is asked which binary pattern is most conserved within groups of related proteins. READ MORE

  4. 2. An evolutionary basis for protein design and structure prediction

    Author : Christoffer Norn; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; Biophysics; Protein design; Protein structure prediction;

    Abstract : The sequence diversity of protein families is a result of the biophysical selection pressures that shaped their evolutionary history. Among the dominant pressures is selection for protein thermostability, which in itself is an attractive target in protein engineering because of its importance for various biopharmaceutical properties, the performance of industrial enzymes, and the ability to design new protein functions.

  5. 3. Innate Immune Proteins in a Crustacean Pacifastacus leniusculus

    Author : Chenglin Wu; Irene Söderhäll; petr Kopácek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 2-DE; hematopoiesis; marker protein; melaniztion inhibiting protein; proPO-system; pattern recognition protein; PGN; ficolin-like protein; Immunology; Immunologi; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Abstract : Hemocytes (blood cells) are important in the immune defense against pathogens in invertebrates. In crusteacean, the hemocytes and plasma components mount a strong innate immune response against different pathogens including bacteria and virus. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on cell wall-attached proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Magnus Rasmussen; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insertion sequence; phase variation; collagen-like; alpha2-macroglobulin; pattern; virulence; surface protein; Stretococcus pyogenes; cell wall-attached protein; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Abstract : Cell wall-attached proteins (CWPs) are important for the virulence of Gram-positive bacteria, but are also targets for the host immune system. CWPs have a conserved COOH-terminal region, responsible for cell wall-sorting. A pattern based on this conserved region was developed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nanometer Scale Protein Templates for Bionanotechnology Applications

    Author : Jonas Rundqvist; David B. Haviland; Michael Grunze; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanotechnology; bionanotechnology; nanobiotechnology; electron beam lithography; EBL; poly ethylene glycol ; PEG; self-assembled monolayer; SAM; self-immobilization; protein pattern; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Nanofabrication techniques were used to manufacture nanometer scale protein templates. The fabrication approach employs electron beam lithography (EBL) patterning on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiol (CH3O(CH2CH2O)17NHCO(CH2)2SH) self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on Au. READ MORE
