2. 1. Protein structure prediction : Zinc-binding sites, one-dimensional structure and remote homology

   Author : Nanjiang Shu; Sven Hovmöller; Bruce Donald; Geoff Barton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein structure prediction; zinc-binding; profile; homology detection; shape string; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Structural Chemistry; strukturkemi;

   Abstract : Predicting the three-dimensional (3D) structure of proteins is a central problem in biology. These computationally predicted 3D protein structures have been successfully applied in many fields of biomedicine, e.g. family assignments and drug discovery. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular principles of protein stability and protein-protein interactions

   Author : Christofer Lendel; Per-Åke Nygren; Christopher M. Dobson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; binding thermodynamics; induced fit; molten globule; NMR spectroscopy; protein engineering; protein-protein interactions; protein stability; protein structure.; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

   Abstract : Proteins with highly specific binding properties constitute the basis for many important applications in biotechnology and medicine. Immunoglobulins have so far been the obvious choice but recent advances in protein engineering have provided several novel constructs that indeed challenge antibodies. READ MORE

5. 3. Protein Structure Prediction : Model Building and Quality Assessment

   Author : Björn Wallner; Arne Elofsson; Michael Levitt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein structure prediction; proteinstrukturförutsägelse; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : Proteins play a crucial roll in all biological processes. The wide range of protein functions is made possible through the many different conformations that the protein chain can adopt. The structure of a protein is extremely important for its function, but to determine the structure of protein experimentally is both difficult and time consuming. READ MORE

6. 4. Structure determination and thermodynamic stabilization of an engineered protein-protein complex

   Author : Elisabet Wahlberg; Per-Åke Nygren; Bengt-Harald Jonsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; protein structure; coupled folding; NMR spectroscopy; protein stability; protein-protein interactions; binding thermodynamics; isothermal titration calorimetry; protein engineering; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

   Abstract : The interaction between two 6 kDa proteins has been investigated. The studied complex of micromolar affinity (Kd) consists of the Z domain derived from staphylococcal protein A and the related protein ZSPA-1, belonging to a group of binding proteins denoted affibody molecules generated via combinatorial engineering of the Z domain.

7. 5. Protein complexes : assembly, structure and function

   Author : Kristina Wilhelm; Ludmilla Ludmilla Morozova-Roche; Catharina Svanborg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HAMLET; ELOA; lysozyme; amyloid; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

   Abstract :  Most proteins must fold into their native conformations to fulfil their biological functions. Failure of proteins to fold leads to cell pathology and a broad range of human diseases referred to as protein misfolding disease, e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and type II diabetes.
