  Protein structure prediction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The output of experimentally determined protein structures, typically by time-consuming and relatively expensive X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, is lagging far behind the output of protein sequences.
Given the amino acid sequence of a unknown structure and the solved structure of a homologous protein, each amino acid in the solved structure is mutated, computationally, into the corresponding amino acid from the unknown structure.
Protein threading scans the amino acid sequence of an unknown structure against a database of solved structures.

 PROTONET : Methods
The foundation for the classification of proteins is a calculation of 'all-against-all' similarity for the set of proteins.
The TrEMBL protein is initally attached ("hung") to the leaf of this Swiss-Prot protein in the ProtoNet tree.
Then, the TrEMBL protein iteratively ascends in the path from this leaf to the root, as long as its addition to the parent cluster (of its cluster in the previous iteration) improves the merging score of the parent cluster.

 Methods in protein separation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Proteins of opposite charge to the matrix bind to the beads, while the rest flow through freely.
The bound proteins are released from the matrix by an increase in salt concentration.
Proteins are flowed over a column of beads coated with an antibody or other molecule that binds specifically to the protein you want to purify.

 Protein Arrays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Protein arrays are rapidly becoming established as a powerful means to detect proteins, monitor their expression levels, and investigate protein interactions and functions.
Protein arrays have been designed as a miniaturisation of familiar immunoassay methods such as ELISA and dot blotting, often utilising fluorescent readout, and facilitated by robotics and high throughput detection systems to enable multiple assays to be carried out in parallel.
Orientation of the surface-bound protein is recognised as an important factor in presenting it to ligand or substrate in an active state; for capture arrays the most efficient binding results are obtained with orientated capture reagents, which generally requires site-specific labelling of the protein.

 2D Protocols
Proteins are loaded at the cathode on the first dimension gel and electrophoresed at 500 volts for 15 minutes and then 1500 volts for 2 hours.
Proteins are stained overnight with 0.2% (w/v) Coomassie brilliant blue R250 in 50% (v/v) methanol, 5% (v/v) acetic acid; the gels are then destained in the same solution without the stain.
Alternatively, the proteins are stained using the colloidal staining method described by Anderson et al.

 Protein sequencer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A protein sequencer is a machine that is used to determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
This is done repetitively for the whole polypeptide, until the whole sequence is established.
This method has generally been replaced by nucleic acid technology, and it is often easier to identify the sequence of a protein by looking at the DNA that codes for it.

 Methods   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
They are usually grown by the "hanging drop method" which means equilibrating a protein/ precipitant solution against a reservoir so that the concentration of the protein and the precipitants increases slowly.
Methods for DNA analysis are sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), protein truncation test (PTT) and heteroduplex analysis.
The purified proteins from bacteria can both structurally be analyzed by X-ray crystallography or functionally be characterized by biophysical methods.

 The Protein Disease Database of human body fluids: I
In a study of lymphocyte proteins from Lesch-Nyhan patients, conducted soon after the introduction of 2-DE, it became apparent that numerous proteins might be affected even in diseases caused by a single gene mutation.
Once proteins are resolved by methods such as electrophoresis, some of these proteins, such as hemoglobin, may be detected by their absorption of visible light.
This class of proteins, first discovered in the laboratory of Avery in patients suffering from pneumococcal pneumonia (Abernathy and Avery, 1941), are generally defined as those whose concentrations increase or decrease by 25% or more in response to inflammation (Kushner, 1982; Kushner and Mackiewicz, 1993).

Complete, de novo, sequence designs for small protein domains are now tractable, which allows for a critical evaluation of the physical-chemical basis of stability in proteins.
That is, various potential energy functions that capture different aspects of protein stability and fold specificity can be explored in an effort to elucidate the origins of stability and specificity in naturally occurring proteins.
In addition, the recent use of a computational protein design procedure to design a “protozyme” foreshadows the use of design procedures to evaluate the origins and evolution of enzymatic catalysis.

 Thesis: Chapter 2 - Protein crystallographic methods
Thus the Patterson map of a protein would contain a large number of peaks, many of which coincide or overlap, since the width of a Patterson peak is the sum of the widths of the appropriate two peaks in the corresponding electron density maps.
In protein crystallography, however, the data usually exhibit a certain degree of redundancy, which means that a statistically relevant number of data may be omitted from the data prior to refinement.
In principle the starting point of CDM and entropy/likelihood methods is the same, but the latter do not require a uniform distribution of the probability distribution of the atoms in the asymmetric unit [Bricogne and Gilmore, 1990].
