Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume in the Subcellular Biochemistry (SCBI) series is a continuation of several previous volumes devoted to the structural and functional study of protein complexes. The expanding nature of this field of study, derived mainly from X-ray crystallography and electron cryomicroscopy, justifies the continuing expansion of coverage in an almost encyclopaedic manner within the SCBI series. Experienced and active researchers in the field shed light on the biology of protein complexes involved in important cellular functions from different perspectives, such as AcrAB-TolC, and CST. Other topics covered are: the Toxin-Antitoxin systems in cell survival, the role of the ATPases CueR and RUVBL1-RUVBL2 in the regulation of gene expression, complexes with multiple functions in the cell such as VCP/p97 or the Vault complex, FtsA and FtsZ in bacterial cell division, GATOR1 and GATOR2 in amino acid sensing, TRPA1 and the Serotonin Transporter in signaling, oligomeric structures in eukaryotic cells such as amyloids and invertases, among others. The book is richly illustrated, the result of an impressive integration of structural data from X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Functional aspects of protein-protein interactions are also featured prominently, providing a valuable contribution for researchers and scholars.

Download or read book Macromolecules Structure and Function written by Finn Wold and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1971 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we discuss the status of the structure- function analysis of biological macromolecules and macromolecular complexes. The ultimate goal of the analysis must be to explain all the functional properties of the molecules in question in terms of their completely defined three-dimensional structure, and the analysis thus contains three separate components: the determination of structure, the determination and quantitation of function, and final correlation of this information into the structure-function model. The first component, the structural analysis, is reviewed only briefly, and this book therefore leans heavily on Barker's and Van Holde's books in this series for proper background and documentation for this component. The second component, the analysis of functional properties, is given broader consideration (Chapters I, 2, 5, and 9), but the main emphasis has been the step-by-step development of the structure-function models. It is hoped that this approach will clearly illustrate the typical progression of scientific model building from the first clear definition of the problem and the statement of the hypothesis through ever-increasing refinements of experimental tests toward the final answer. It is also hoped that the statements of philosophy, principles, and scientific method that are the bases for this approach are of broad enough validity to survive even after its models have become obsolete. With this approach, it is essential to inform the reader in unequivocal terms that this book is not a summary of final conclusions and complete stories which can be submitted to memory. Each system discussed should be considered very critically, and the models should be evaluated in terms of the available evidence. The only "facts" are the experimental data; the interpretation of this data into models is only convincing to the extent that it makes logical sense to the individual examining it. Since both space and common sense prohibits a continuous reiteration of this statement throughout the book, be prepared to encounter some models and hypotheses which are based on sound experimental evidence as well as some which have no experimental basis at all. In neither case are they "facts," but in either case they represent ideas which can be subjected to further experimental tests. If the book helps to sharpen this critical evaluation of both ideas and the experimental test of the hypotheses, one of its major purposes has been fulfilled.

Download or read book Computer Assisted Modeling written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1987-02-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In much of biology, the search for understanding the relation between structure and function is now taking place at the macromolecular level. Proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides are macromolecule--polymers formed from families of simpler subunits. Because of their size and complexity, the polymers are capable of both inter- and intramolecular interactions. These interactions confer upon the polymers distinctive three-dimensional shapes. These tertiary configurations, in turn, determine the function of the macromolecule. Computers have become so inextricably involved in empirical studies of three-dimensional macromolecular structure that mathematical modeling, or theory, and experimental approaches are interrelated aspects of a single enterprise.

Download or read book Protein protein Complexes written by Martin Zacharias and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the immense progress achieved in elucidating protein-protein complex structures and in the field of protein interaction modeling, there is great demand for a book that gives interested researchers/students a comprehensive overview of the field. This book does just that. It focuses on what can be learned about protein-protein interactions from the analysis of protein-protein complex structures and interfaces. What are the driving forces for protein-protein association? How can we extract the mechanism of specific recognition from studying protein-protein interfaces? How can this knowledge be used to predict and design protein-protein interactions (interaction regions and complex structures)? What methods are currently employed to design protein-protein interactions, and how can we influence protein-protein interactions by mutagenesis and small-molecule drugs or peptide mimetics?The book consists of about 15 review chapters, written by experts, on the characterization of protein-protein interfaces, structure determination of protein complexes (by NMR and X-ray), theory of protein-protein binding, dynamics of protein interfaces, bioinformatics methods to predict interaction regions, and prediction of protein-protein complex structures (docking and homology modeling of complexes, etcetera.) and design of protein-protein interactions. It serves as a bridge between studying/analyzing protein-protein complex structures (interfaces), predicting interactions, and influencing/designing interactions.
