Method to identify protein sequences that fold into a known three-dimensional structure
TL;DR: In this article, a computer-assisted method for identifying protein sequences that fold into a known 3D structure was proposed, based on three key features of each residue's environment within the structure: (1) the total area of the residue's side-chain that is buried by other protein atoms, inaccessible to solvent; (2) the fraction of the side-chains area that is covered by polar atoms (O, N) or water; and (3) the local secondary structure.

Abstract: A computer-assisted method for identifying protein sequences that fold into a known three-dimensional structure. The method determines three key features of each residue's environment within the structure: (1) the total area of the residue's side-chain that is buried by other protein atoms, inaccessible to solvent; (2) the fraction of the side-chain area that is covered by polar atoms (O, N) or water, and (3) the local secondary structure. Based on these parameters, each residue position is categorized into an environment class. In this manner, a three-dimensional protein structure is converted into a one-dimensional environment string. A 3D structure profile table is then created containing score values that represent the frequency of finding any of the 20 common amino acids structures at each position of the environment string. These frequencies are determined from a database of known protein structures and aligned sequences.

Identifying Catalytic Residues in CPAF, a Chlamydia-Secreted Protease
TL;DR: A computational approach to search the protein databank for structures that are compatible with the CPAF amino acid sequence reveals that CPAf possesses a fold similar to that of the catalytic domains of the tricorn protease from Thermoplasma acidophilum, and thatCPAF residues H105, S499, and E558 are structurally analogous to the trICORN protease catalytic triad residues.

Comparison of protein structures using 3D profile alignment
TL;DR: A novel method for protein structure comparison using 3D profile alignment using a dynamic programming algorithm to obtain optimal alignment and a similarity score between them and results differ in implication from those obtained by the conventional structure-structure comparison method.

TL;DR: The presented structural models of NRG‐1β/ErbB3 andNRG‐ 1β/ ErbB4 complexes are reliable and could be used to guide future studies, such as performing desirable mutations on NRG•1β to increase the binding affinity and selectivity to the receptor and discovering new therapeutic agents for the treatment of heart failure.

TL;DR: A model of the whole PAB1283 enzyme docked onto its tRNAAsp substrate suggests that the THUMP module specifically takes support on the co-axially stacked helices of T-arm and acceptor stem of tRNA and, together with the catalytic domain, screw-clamp structured tRNA.

TL;DR: There is a good correlation between the structural changes caused by amino-acid substitutions in the β-galactosidase molecule, as well as biochemical and clinical phenotypes in these representative cases.

TL;DR: The accessibility of atoms in the twenty common amino acids in model tripeptides of the type Ala-X-Ala are given for defined conformation and the larger non-polar amino acids tend to be more “buried” in the native form of all three proteins.
