Abstract:

Proteins play a crucial role in virtually every biological process taking place within our cells. Most of the times, proteins do not participate in these processes alone but forming complexes of two or more proteins. Therefore, the study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and complex formation has become an important field of research in the last decades due to its scientific relevance and therapeutic interest. Protein docking is one of the several computational approaches that have been applied to study protein interactions over the last years. It aims to determine the three-dimensional s

Abstract:

Extracting information from a stack of data is a tedious task and the scenario is no different in proteomics. Volumes of research papers are published about study of various proteins in several species, their interactions with other proteins and identification of protein(s) as possible biomarker in causing diseases. It is a challenging task for biologists to keep track of these developments manually by reading through the literatures. Several tools have been developed by computer linguists to assist identification, extraction and hypotheses generation of proteins and protein-protein interactio

Abstract:

Abstract Spontaneous changes in protein systems, such as the binding of a ligand to an enzyme or receptor, are characterized by a decrease of free energy. Despite the recent developments in computing power and methodology, it remains challenging to accurately estimate free energy changes. Major issues are still concerned with the accuracy of the underlying model to describe the protein system and how well the calculation in fact emulates the behaviour of the system. This thesis is largely concerned with the quality of current free energy calculation methods as applied to protein-ligand system

Abstract:

Protein-protein interactions are central to understanding how cells carry out their wide array of functions and metabolic procedures. Conventional studies on specific protein interactions focus either on details of one-to-one binding interfaces, or on large networks that require a priori knowledge of binding strengths. Moreover, specific protein interactions, occurring within a crowded macromolecular environment, which is precisely the case for interactions in a real cell, are often under-investigated. A macromolecular simulation package, called BioSimz, has been developed to perform Langevin

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) prove to be a powerful approach to identify the genetic basis of various human[1] diseases. Here we take advantage of existing GWAS data and attempt to build a framework to understand the complex relationships among diseases. Specifically, we examined 49 diseases from all available GWAS with a cascade approach by exploiting network analysis to study the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) effect on the similarity between different diseases. Proteins within perturbation subnetwork are considered to be connection points between the disease sim

Escherichia coli transporter protein AcrB and its homologues are the inner membrane components of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) family efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria.

The lack of stability data, including thermodynamic stability and oligomer association affinity is a result of intrinsic difficulties in working with membrane proteins.

Chemically-induced protein association is involved in key regulatory pathways throughout the body.

One such method to investigate PPI inhibition is a bacterial reverse two-hybrid system (RTHS), which has been s

Amyloid-beta protein (Aß) is strongly linked to the aetiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Even though Aß has a central role in AD, this protein is normally produced in healthy humans. It is the aberrant processing of Aß that determines its accumulation and aggregation into large oligomer species that evolve into the fibrillar structures deposited in amyloid plaques in the brain of AD patients. The neurotoxicity observed in AD has been attributed to the oligomeric intermediates, although their stoichiometry and structure still remain unknown. This is the reason why no AD therapeutic approaches

In previous studies a decrease in the GPC has been seen in different accessions of barley developed at different time periods during the last 100 years.
