Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImproving Protein 3D Structure Prediction Accuracy using Dense Regions Areas of Secondary Structures in the Contact MapAmer F. Al-Badarneh, Mohammad A. Khalil, Mo'taz A. Al-HamiProblem Statement: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problem in structural molecular biology. This problem describes how a protein is transformed from its primary sequence (i.e., amino acid sequence) into the three dimensional structure (3D structure) for this sequence that determines the function of the protein. The 3D structure of a protein can be represented using a square symmetrical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,533 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment of Neighbors Atomic Coordinate Tables and Plot-Graphical Representation for Tertiary Structure in ProteinsHamed Fawareh, Jehad Q. Odeh, Nawal Al-OmoushProblem statement: Contact map prediction is an interesting method for its application in fold recognition and protein tertiary structure determination. Approach: This study developed a method to predict a protein tertiary structure from the amino acid sequence using contact map. The method showed prediction a protein in a binary space of exposure states. The approach produced several procedures to finds … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,892 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Object Size and Location on Contact Forces and Grasping Stability for an Underactuated Robotic ManipulatorSomer Matti Nacy, Ahmed Abdulsalam NayifThis paper comprises a study of the grasping stability for an underactuated robotic manipulator under the condition of varying the position of different sizes cylindrical grasped objects. Grasping forces were calculated both theoretically and Via a CAD model for a 3-DOF underactuated robotic manipulator. The experimental part comprises the fabrication of the manipulator and performing the required tests on this … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 24 May 2018 · 7,038 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Meaning of a Redundant Codon: There is Protein Folding Information in Nucleic Acids in Addition to the Genetic CodeJan C. Biro, Josephine M.K. BiroAll the information necessary for protein folding is supposed to be present in the amino acid sequence. It is still not possible to provide specific ab initio structure predictions by bioinformatical methods. It is suspected that additional folding information is present in protein coding nucleic acid sequences, which is not represented by the known genetic code. Nucleic acid subsequences comprising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 8,292 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDevelopment of a Wear Map for the Sliding and Rotational Wear behavior of ShaftsAl-mahasne Mayas MohammadThis study was an attempt to study the wear calculation method for rotating shaft in the friction couple type shaft-cuff in conditions of oiling in high dusty environment. The size and quantity of abrasive particles that go into the clearance between friction surfaces, definition of the pressure including the load in conjugate that is given by the cuff spring as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,913 accessesView PDF Cite
