This book was released on 1998-11-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on our detailed genetic code is increasing at a dramatic pace. We need to understand how that is translated into the three-dimensional structure of proteins in order to make use of the information. Progress in this field is hampered by the lack of precise force fields and of efficient codes for finding equilibrium configurations of heteropolymers. However, there has been rapid advance in recent years, and this volume discusses that.

Download or read book Explicit solvent effects on protein physics written by Giovanni Salvi and published by Sudwestdeutscher Verlag Fur Hochschulschriften AG. This book was released on 2009 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein folding stands as one of the major interdisciplinary challenges of the last fifteen years, involving biology, chemistry, medicine and physics. In this book solvent effects, and the related hydrophobic effect, on proteins are investigated. Using a simple lattice model of proteins, in which the solvent is semi-explicitly taken into account, thermodynamical quantities can be investigated and the crucial role the solvent plays in protein folding can be demonstrated. Of particular relevance is our observation that a simple model, in which the potential energy is described in terms of the interactions between amino-acids only, does not correctly reproduce solvent effects. Approaches like this, in which solvent effects are treated implicitly, are commonly employed in many of more sophisticated models for protein folding dynamics. Our results are then of great importance as they suggest the treatment of the solvent in these models may need to be re-examined.

Download or read book Computational Methods for Protein Folding Volume 120 written by Richard A. Friesner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-04-07 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first attempts to model proteins on a computer began almost thirty years ago, our understanding of protein structure and dynamics has dramatically increased. Spectroscopic measurement techniques continue to improve in resolution and sensitivity, allowing a wealth of information to be obtained with regard to the kinetics of protein folding and unfolding, and complementing the detailed structural picture of the folded state. Concurrently, algorithms, software, and computational hardware have progressed to the point where both structural and kinetic problems may be studied with a fair degree of realism. Despite these advances, many major challenges remain in understanding protein folding at both the conceptual and practical levels. Computational Methods for Protein Folding seeks to illuminate recent advances in computational modeling of protein folding in a way that will be useful to physicists, chemists, and chemical physicists. Covering a broad spectrum of computational methods and practices culled from a variety of research fields, the editors present a full range of models that, together, provide a thorough and current description of all aspects of protein folding. A valuable resource for both students and professionals in the field, the book will be of value both as a cutting-edge overview of existing information and as a catalyst for inspiring new studies. Computational Methods for Protein Folding is the 120th volume in the acclaimed series Advances in Chemical Physics, a compilation of scholarly works dedicated to the dissemination of contemporary advances in chemical physics, edited by Nobel Prize-winner Ilya Prigogine.
