Protein Structure Prediction Methods and Protocols Vol II

Encyclopaedia of Prediction of Protein Structures, Functions, and Interactions covers study of prediction of protein structures, functions, and interactions. Protein structure prediction is the prediction of the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence — that is, the prediction of its folding and its secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure from its primary structure. Structure prediction is fundamentally different from the inverse problem of protein design.

Protein structure prediction is one of the most important goals pursued by bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry; it is highly important in medicine and biotechnology. Every two years, the performance of current methods is assessed in the CASP experiment. This volume is divided into nine chapters.

1. Structure and Non-Structure of Centrosomal Proteins

2. Controlled In Meso Phase Crystallization – A Method for the Structural Investigation of Membrane Proteins

3. Mitochondrial Structure and Function are Disrupted by Standard Isolation Methods

4. Structure Collisions Between Interacting Proteins

5. Structural Insights into the Mechanism of Protein O-Fucosylation

6. Protein Structural Model Selection by Combining Consensus and Single Scoring Methods

7. A New Method for the Discovery of Essential Proteins

8. How Structure Defines Affinity in Protein-Proteint Interactions

9. Evolution and Structural Organization of the C Proteins of Paramyxovirinae
