By 1966 the major elements of protein synthesis had been worked out, and Dr. Crick moved on.
Quasi-Boltzmann statistics of the elements of protein structures.
Physical interactions responsible for structure of biopolymers; DNA double helix, secondary structure of RNA, elements of protein folding.
The potential of NEXAFS spectroscopy to differentiate between different elements of protein secondary structure is explored.
While β-sheet structures are important elements of protein architecture, it has traditionally been more difficult to design β-proteins than α-helical proteins.
Topics include: bioinformatic methods for extracting information content of DNA; gene finding, sequence comparison, and phylogenetic trees; physical interactions responsible for structure of biopolymers; DNA double helix, secondary structure of RNA, and elements of protein folding; considerations of force, motion, and packaging; protein motors, membranes.
It is quite remarkable that despite the simplicity of the mDCM, it captures the essential elements of protein thermodynamics and mechanical linkage mechanisms.
Despite the diversity and enormity of protein universe, the dissection of known protein structures has identified regular secondary structure elements (SSEs), namely, α-helix and β-strand, that constitute the basic structural elements of protein universe (Levitt and Chothia, 1976).
Cell-specific elements of protein context are particularly attractive candidate determinants of selective toxicity.
We hypothesized that, in some cases, conserved elements of protein domains may lead to the detection of informative motifs, referred to here as domain signatures.
