Download or read book Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function written by Isao Suetake and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ELUCIDATION OF PROTEIN FUNCTION An essential aid for scientists seeking alternative techniques for investigating proteins Proteins are the building blocks of living organisms, and they play an enormous range of fundamental roles in sustaining and shaping life. The critical determinant of a protein’s function is its structure, and the analysis of protein structures has therefore become a significant component of biological research. In recent years, longstanding analytical techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been supplemented by a number of new methods which promise to revolutionize the study of proteins and their functions. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function serves as an introduction to these techniques, which are especially crucial for analyzing intrinsically disordered regions and post-translational modifications. These have revolutionized the study of proteins in recent years, and conventional methods for analyzing protein structures are no longer sufficient to work through their ramifications. This book therefore brings greater awareness of techniques which promise to produce the very cutting edge of protein research. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function readers will find: A discussion of techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, neutron scattering, Raman imaging, and more Both theoretical background and practical applications for each technique Contributions from leading international researchers into protein structure and function This practically focused text is a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the life sciences.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins are still gaining importance in the pharmaceutical world, where they are used to improve our arsenal of therapeutic drugs and vaccines and as diagnostic tools. Proteins are different from "traditional" low-molecular-weight drugs. As a group, they exhibit a number of biopharmaceutical and formulation problems. These problems have drawn considerable interest from both industrial and aca demic environments, forcing pharmaceutical scientists to explore a domain previ ously examined only by peptide and protein chemists. Biopharmaceutical aspects of proteins, e.g., low oral bioavailability, have been extensively investigated. Although all possible conventional routes of ad ministration have been examined for proteins, no real, generally applicable alter native to parenteral administration in order to achieve systemic effects has yet been discovered. Several of these biopharmaceutical options have been discussed in Volume 4 of this series, Biological Barriers to Protein Delivery. Proteins are composed of many amino acids, several of which are notorious for their chemical instability. Rational design of formulations that optimize the native structure and/or bioactivity of a protein is therefore of great importance when long shelf life is required, as it is for pharmaceutical products. This issue has also been examined in two prior volumes of this series: Volume 2: Stability of Protein Pharmaceuticals (Part A) and Volume 5: Stability and Characterization of Protein and Peptide Drugs.
Download or read book Computational Development Towards High throughput NMR based Protein Structure Determination written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional structures of proteins determined in solution by NMR spectroscopy have the unique advantage of revealing details of molecular structure and dynamics in a physiologically relevant state; however, the many tedious steps needed to solve and validate a structure make this method challenging. The barriers to NMR structure determination become higher for larger proteins whose spectra are harder to resolve. It is clear that advances need to be made in automating protein structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. The goal of my research has been to use computational methods to advance the development of high-throughput NMR spectroscopy. Accelerating and streamlining the structure determination process will enable investigators to spend less time solving structures and more time investigating challenging biomolecular systems. My goals have been to develop an automation protocol that integrates multiple steps, ensures the robustness of each step, incorporates iterative corrections, and includes visualization tools to validate and extend the results. I developed PINE-SPARKY as a graphical interface for checking and extending automated assignments made by the PINE-NMR server. ADAPT-NMR directs fast data collection by reduced dimensionality on the basis of ongoing NMR assignments. I helped develop a version of ADAPT-NMR (originally only for Varian spectrometers) for Bruker spectrometers, and I created ADAPT-NMR Enhancer as a visualization tool for validating and extending assignments made by ADAPT-NMR on either spectrometer system. I developed the PONDEROSA package to automate the next steps. PONDEROSA carries out automatic picking of 3D-NOESY peaks and iterative structure determinations with the protein sequence and the assignments as inputs. These automation and visualization tools cover almost all of the steps involved in protein structure determination by NMR spectroscopy. As a practical test of this technology, I solved the structure of the 2A proteinase from the human rhinovirus. As a side project, I built a relational database (PACSY DB) that combines information from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the Biological Magnetic Resonance data Bank (BMRB) and incorporates tools for structure analysis. PACSY DB can carry out complex queries that combine atomic coordinates, NMR parameters, and structural features of proteins.
