Correlation between sequence hydrophobicity and surface-exposure pattern of database proteins
Susanne Moelbert, Eldon Emberly, Chao Tang
Hydrophobicity is thought to be one of the primary forces driving the folding of proteins. On average, hydrophobic residues occur preferentially in the core, whereas polar residues…
Flexibility of beta-sheets: Principal-component analysis of database protein structures
Eldon G. Emberly, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Chao Tang +1
Protein folds are built primarily from the packing together of two types of structures: alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Neither structure is rigid, and the flexibility of helices an…
The Smallest Molecular Switch
Eldon G. Emberly, George Kirczenow
Ab-initio total energy calculations reveal benzene-dithiolate (BDT) molecules on a gold surface, contacted by a monoatomic gold STM tip to have two classes of low energy conformati…
Flexibility of -helices: Results of a statistical analysis of database protein structures
Eldon G. Emberly, Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Ned S. Wingreen +1
-helices stand out as common and relatively invariant secondary structural elements of proteins. However, -helices are not rigid bodies and their deformations can be signific…
Statistical mechanics of RNA folding: importance of alphabet size
Ranjan Mukhopadhyay, Eldon Emberly, Chao Tang +1
We construct a minimalist model of RNA secondary-structure formation and use it to study the mapping from sequence to structure. There are strong, qualitative differences between t…
Designability of alpha-helical Proteins
Eldon Emberly, Ned Wingreen, Chao Tang
A typical protein structure is a compact packing of connected alpha-helices and/or beta-strands. We have developed a method for generating the ensemble of compact structures a give…
