The main idea of the method is to detect structural domains as regions of the protein structure where most of the interactions between atoms or residues occur within the regions and least without.
For the extraction of domain definitions it is necessary that this stage in the evaluation is detected and the iteration terminated, allowing the assignment of residues with common label as a domain.
Domain boundaries may be marked by a shift in general character, the beginning and end of periodic region or internal duplication, or cluster basic residues.

That is, nothing occurs in the molecular domain through an external cause, and all that happens occurs as determined by the structural coherences inherent in the circumstances in which it occurs.
The structural changes triggered in the interactions of a structure determined system arise moment after moment determined by its structure also, but they follow a course that is generated moment after moment by the succession of encounters with the medium in which the system participates.
That is, we human beings exist in structural coupling with all the other living and not living entities that compose the biosphere, and we operate in language as our manner of being in the present in the flow of our interactions in structural coupling as integral components of the biosphere.

 Articles - Structural domain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Within a protein, a structural domain ("domain") is an element of overall structure that is self-stabilizing and often folds independently of the rest of the protein chain.
Domains often are named and singled out because they figure prominently in the biological function of the protein they belong to; for example, the "calcium-binding domain of calmodulin.
Given the fact that phosphoinositides are sequestered to the cell membrane due to their long lipophilic tail, the PH domain usually causes localization of the protein in question to the cell membrane, which is useful for expediting activation of the protein and continuation of a signaling pathway.

 Berkeley Structural Genomics Center: Job Opportunities
Structural genomics is an international effort to determine the three-dimensional shapes of all important biological macromolecules, with a primary focus on proteins.
In contrast, focusing structural genomics on a single tractable genome would have only a limited impact in structural knowledge of other proteomes: A significant fraction (about 30-40% of the proteins and 40-60% of the residues) of each proteome is classified in small families, which may have little overlap with other species of interest.
The high-resolution structure of a receptor cytoplasmic domain has recently been determined by crystallographic methods and is largely consistent with a structural model independently generated by chemical studies of the domain in the full-length, membrane-bound receptor.

A: Schematic representation of the secondary structure of Ets-1DeltaN280.
The HTH and beta-sheet structures of the ETS domain are represented as a globular DNA-binding domain.
In this study, we have determined the secondary structure of Ets-1DeltaN280, a low-affinity deletion mutant of Ets-1 and demonstrated that the helices in the amino- and carboxy-terminal inhibitory regions are coupled to one another and to the intervening ETS domain.

Structural annotation is a homology to a known structure.
The expansion of a superfamily relative to the human proteome is plotted as the number of domains in superfamily X in proteome Y divided by the number of domains in superfamily X in human (times 100), so that all superfamilies are 100% in human.
The number of domains in a superfamily that are found in proteins that have at least one transmembrane helix are shown for the different proteomes.

 What are the central issues in the definition of structural domains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Agreeing on a “unified” definition of a structural domain is critical for the improvement of automatic methods of domain assignment.
In summary, further improvement of automatic domain assignments will require new working definitions of structural domains based on existing data, which encompasses evolutionary, structural and functional approaches.
In the absence of such comprehensive and robust domain definitions, the community of structural biologists should at least be aware of the discord and understand the conceptual underpinnings of structural domains as determined by each assignment method.

 Protein domain database: DOMO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
A major issue related to protein classification is the decomposition of biomolecules into their constituent structural domains typically defined as independent and globular folding units within a three-dimensional protein structure (1).
The domain boundaries and alignments have been inferred by a fully automated analysis process involving the detection and subsequent clustering of amino acid sequence similarities, followed by delineation of the domain boundaries, and then multiple sequence alignment of the related protein segments(9,10).
The domain boundaries were not inferred from three-dimensional data but exclusively from the relative positions of homologous segment pairs within the same protein (repeats) or within homologous proteins at different distances from their respective N- or C-termini.

These diagrams are based on three-dimensional structural information and incorporate annotations derived from the co-ordinates.
The diagrams illustrate the pattern of interactions between the domain and any metal ions, ligands and/or nucleic acids which it binds, allowing a fast analysis of the location of specific intermolecular interactions with respect to the domain sequence.
Homologous domains are found to share a similar pattern of ligand contacts, and so DOMPLOT is a useful tool to aid identification of protein homologues.
