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.

Molecular interactions of type I and type II positive allosteric modulators with the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: an in silico study
TL;DR: In silico α7TSLMF mutant results support the view that M1–Ser223 and M3–Ile281 are key residues for the interaction of PAM-2 and PNU-120596 with the intrasubunit cavity, and suggest that the ECD–TMD junction and intersubunit sites could be significant for the activity of type I PAMs.

In silico and experimental validation of protein-protein interactions between PknI and Rv2159c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
TL;DR: It is proposed that, PknI physically interacts with Rv2159c both in vitro and in silico studies, and the free binding energy between the wild type and mutant complexes using MM-GBSA has provided insight about the stability of PKnI-Rv2 159c interaction.

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.
