Protein Conformation - No. 161

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ciba Foundation / Caba Foundation, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, Protein Conformation Chairman: F.M. Richards One of ong>theong> major unsolved problems in biology and chemistry is how ong>theong> amino acid sequence of a protein determines its three-dimensional structure, yet this structure is fundamental to ong>theong> functioning and mechanism of action of enzymes, channels and receptors. Since ong>theong> pioneering modelling work of Pauling in ong>theong> s and ong>theong> X-ray structure determinations by Kendrew and Perutz in ong>theong> s, much structural information on proteins has been amassed. Several hundred protein structures have now been solved by X-ray crystallography and, more recently, NMR spectroscopy has had a significant impact on ong>theong> study of structures of small proteins in solution. In this book, contributions from experts in ong>theong> fields of X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, molecular modelling and protein engineering provide insight into current views on ong>theong> protein folding problem and point to avenues for future progress. ong>Theong> use of molecular dynamics simulations to provide information about protein structure, dynamics and stability, and about protein-- protein interactions, is discussed. Oong>theong>r topics focused on include enzyme catalysis, site-directed mutagenesis as a tool in studies of protein conformation and stability, and recent developments in multidimensional NMR methodology.
