X-ray diffraction was one of the early methods to be used in solving protein conformation.
The technique can give the atomic coordinates of the protein components and therefore …

A protein is usually classified into one of the following five structural classes: α, β, α+ β, α/β,
and ζ (irregular). The structural class of a protein is correlated with its amino acid …

To facilitate understanding of, and access to, the information available for protein structures,
we have constructed the Structural Classification of Proteins (scop) database. This database …

Understanding the evolution of a protein, including both close and distant relationships,
often reveals insight into its structure and function. Fast and easy access to such up-to-date …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the present state of the studies of the molten
globule state and its role in protein folding and physiological processes. Recent data on the …

We present a method for predicting protein folding class based on global protein chain
description and a voting process. Selection of the best descriptors was achieved by a …

Proteins are the working horse of the cellular machinery. They are responsible for diverse
functions ranging from molecular motors to signaling. They catalyze reactions, transport …

Recent advance in large-scale genome se-quencing has generated a huge volume of pro-
tein sequences. In order to timely utilize the in-formation hidden in these newly discovered …

A long standing problem in structural bioinformatics is to determine the three-dimensional (3-
D) structure of a protein when only a sequence of amino acid residues is given. Many …
