Crucial stages of protein folding through a solvable model: predicting target sites for enzyme-inhibiting drugs
Cristian Micheletti, Fabio Cecconi, Alessandro Flammini +1
An exactly solvable model based on the topology of a protein native state is applied to identify bottlenecks and key-sites for the folding of HIV-1 Protease. The predicted sites ar…
Elastic properties of proteins: insight on the folding process and evolutionary selection of native structures
Cristian Micheletti, Gianluca Lattanzi, Amos Maritan
We carry out a theoretical study of the vibrational and relaxation properties of naturally-occurring proteins with the purpose of characterizing both the folding and equilibrium th…
Geometry of compact tubes and protein structures
J. R. Banavar, A. Flammini, D. Marenduzzo +2
Proteins form a very important class of polymers. In spite of major advances in the understanding of polymer science, the protein problem has remained largely unsolved. Here, we sh…
Prediction of Protein Secondary Structures From Conformational Biases
Trinh Xuan Hoang, Marek Cieplak, Jayanth R. Banavar +1
We use LINUS, a procedure developed by Srinivasan and Rose, to provide a physical interpretation of and to predict the secondary structures of proteins. The secondary structure typ…
