  2. 6. On the effects of structure and function on protein evolution

    Author : Kristoffer Illergård; Arne Elofsson; Nir Ben-Tal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein; structure; function; evolution; membrane; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Many proteins can be described as working machines that make sure that everything functions in the cell. Their specific molecular functions are largely dependent on their three-dimensional structures, which in turn are mainly predetermined by their linear sequences of amino acid residues. READ MORE

  4. 7. 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

  5. 8. Ribosomal Stalk Protein L12 : Structure, Function and Application

    Author : Chandra Sekhar Mandava; Suparna Sanyal; Knud Nierhaus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribosome; protein synthesis; L12 dimer; initiation; elongation; G factors; and His-tag; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Ribosomal stalk proteins are known to play important role in protein synthesis. The ‘stalk’, an extended structure on the large subunit of the ribosome is composed mainly of two to three dimers of L12 and one L10 protein, which forms the base of the stalk. In E. READ MORE

  6. 9. A Genetic Switch in Bacteriophages within the Peduovirinae Subfamily : Structure, Function and Evolution

    Author : Hanna Nilsson; Anders Nilsson; Öjar Melefors; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The temperate bacteriophages in the Peduovirinae subfamily can either grow lytically or integrate into their bacterial host and form lysogeny. Which one of the two life cycles the phage will enter after infection is controlled by a transcriptional switch. READ MORE

  7. 10. 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.
