  TIM Barrel Analysis
barrel (TIM barrel) is by far the most common tertiary fold observed in high resolution protein crystal structures.
-strands of the barrel form an intrinsic network of hydrogen bonds with the neighbouring strands and are oriented in the same direction.
As expected the residues in the barrel are shielded from solvent as evidenced from their low solvent accessibility values.

 TIM Barrel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
It is argued by others that the TIM barrel, which is a very stable arrangement, has been discovered independently by nature on several occasions (convergent evolution).
Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM) is a glycolytic enzyme which catalyses the rapid and reversible isomerisation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (an aldose) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (a ketose).
TIM is a homodimer and is shown on the left with 2-phosphoglycolate - a stable transition state analogue - bound at each active site.

The TIM barrel fold seems to be a good framework for many different kinds of enzymes, providing unique possibilities for both natural and human-designed evolution, as the catalytic center and the stabilizing features are separated to different ends of the barrel.
TIM can be considered a real text-book enzyme — its catalytic properties and stucture-function relationships have been studied for decades.
TIM is a dimeric enzyme that consists of two identical subunits of 250 residues.

Equilibrium is reached when the mass of water contained in the barrel (as segments of water separated by air-spacers) is equal to the mass of water in the head (Volume is given by V = Dh * I.D. of Hose * p).
This limit is reached when the head of water being pumped by the barrel exceeds the mass of water contained in the coils within the barrel.

Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) via an enediol (or enediolate) intermediate (Section 14-2E).
The enzyme is colored with the parallel beta strands of the alpha/beta barrel ("sheets") yellow, their alpha helices ("helices") orange, and the remaining parts of the protein including the loops linking successive alpha helices and beta strands of the alpha/beta barrel ("loops"), greentint.
This beta barrel is encircled by a kind of barrel made of eight parallel alpha helices that are largely antiparallel to the beta strands.

 Glycolysis & Fermentation
This inhibitor of catalysis by TIM is similar in structure to the proposed enediolate intermediate.
TIM is considered a "perfect enzyme", because the reaction rate is limited only by the rate at which substrate collides with the enzyme.
There is debate over whether the many different TIM barrel enzymes are evolutionarily related, since in spite of the structural similarities there is tremendous diversity in catalytic functions of these enzymes and little sequence homology.

Ultimately, such structural studies should allow the prediction of properties of wild type and mutated proteins and in fact one important topic of the TIM project is to engineer new substrate specificity on a monomeric variant of TIM.
The structures of many TIMs, from many different organisms ranging from extreme thermophiles to a psychrophilic organism have been determined by this and other laboratories, allowing detailed analysis of the mechanism and also other factors such as protein stability.
The crystal structure of this monomeric variant of TIM has been described; it does not bind the natural substrates and a search has been initiated for new substrates in which the phosphate group is replaced by a neutral group.

 SR127: Structure-Based Functional Annotation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
SR127 is a variation of the classical TIM barrel fold.
SR127 has an N-terminal extension (relative to the barrel) of a strand (beta-1)-loop-helix-strand (beta-2) structure, which is packed perpendicular to the axis of the barrel strands, at the location of the "missing" 8th strand.
Structural alignments reveal that the composition of this region in SR127 is similar to that of chitinase, an O-glycosylhydrolase that hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond of chitin, a beta-1,4 N-acetylglucosamine polymer.

The TIM barrel proteins are classified in TIM-DB according to their EC code.
Historically, this is the most usual way in which TIM barrel domains have been classified (Farber, 1993; Janecek & Bateman, 1996).

The TIM Domain is made up of X, Y, and Z regions and functions as the catalytic center of phospholipase C.
The main components of the TIM domain are a hydrophobic ridge that promotes membrane penetration, a dished barrel containing catalytic residues, and a site for calcium binding.
The increase in activity due to the increase in phophotadic acid is proposed to stimulate the anchoring of the enzyme to the membrane(Rebecchi, 2000).

 TM0936   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
PFAM classifies central three quarters of TM0936 as a chlorohydrolase from ATZ/TRZ family; the closest functionally verified homologs is N-ethylammelide chlorohydrolase with 40% sequence identity.
Threading algorithms predicted the similarity of this domain to the TIM barrel cytosine/adenosine deaminase despite only 10-12% sequence id, as well as overall (including central, N- and C-terminal domains) similarity to urease with slightly higher sequence identity of 18%.
Both predictions were subsequently confirmed by structure comparison; the central, catalytic domain is most similar to cytosine/adenosine deaminase structure (~2.8 angstrom rmsd over 200 residues), whereas the overall structure, including the N- and C-domains, is most similar to urease with a 3.8 angstrom rmsd over 350 residues.

There is no doubt that Tim in particular would like us in the TAG to orient our work more towards the architecture of his vision of the Next Web, rather than the boring old current edition.
I took the trouble to dive pretty deep into Prolog (something you don’t hear much about now) but at the end of the day thought it was a bunch of bullshit, and said so, and suffered some temporary career damage and subsequently some credibility enhancement.
Having said all that, as Tim is prone to point out, lots of people also used to say (pre-Web) that Hypertext was also a grand failed experiment.

 FSSA HOWTO : Software   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For example, suppose you just obtained a new structure with the TIM barrel fold (SCOP fold identifier c.1), and you want to know its exact biological function.
The problem is that this new structure has low sequence similarity (less than 30%) to any other TIM barrel proteins with known function (based on sequence and structure comparisons).
The actual function prediction is composed of two steps: First the FSSA script calls the MAMMOTH program and generates all-against-all pairwise structure alignments for all TIM barrel proteins with known function (we use SCOP superfamily to define "same function").
