Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR RHODOPSIN PROTEIN FOLDING PROBLEMIman Ahmed Mahmoud, Amr Ahmed Badr, Mostafa Abdel AzimProteins are very important components in any living cells. A number of diseases such as Retinitis pigmentosa, Stargadt-like macular degeneration and Doyne Honeycomb Retinal Dystrophy (DHRD) diseases are shown to result from misfunctioning of proteins. Protein folding problem is a way to predict the best and optimal 3D molecular structure (tertiary structure) of a protein which is then considered to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 May 2014 · 7,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSolving Protein Folding Problem using Elitism-Based Compact Genetic AlgorithmAmr Badr, Ibtehal M. Aref, Basma M. Hussien, Yosr EmanProteins are vital components of living cells. A number of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cystic fibrosis and Mad Cow diseases are shown to result from misfunctioning of proteins. Problem statement: Protein folding problem is the process of predicting the optimal 3D molecular structure of a protein, or tertiary structure, which is an indication of its proper function. Approach: An enhancement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImproving 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequencies of the C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T Polymorphisms of the MDR1 Gene and their Haplotypes in UzbekistanS. B. Nurmatova, A. A. Abdurakhimov, O. S. Charishnikova et al.P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is encoded by the MDR1 gene and is involved in the pharmacokinetics of drugs. The best-known MDR1 gene polymorphisms are 1236C>T, 3435C>T, and 2677G>T/A, which are associated with protein folding, changes in mRNA levels, and drug pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of distribution of functional polymorphisms C1236T, C3435T, G2677T/A of the MDR1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Meat-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum IIA, Expresses a Functional Parvulin-Like Protein with Unique Structural PropertyCahyo Budiman, Irma Isnafia Arief, Fernandes Opook, Muhammad YusufThe genome sequence of a Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum IIA contains a single gene encoding a parvulin-like protein (Par-LpIIA). This protein belongs to Peptidyl Prolyl cis-trans Isomerase (PPIase) family proteins that catalyze a slow cis-trans isomerization of cis prolyl bond during protein folding. This study aims to provide molecular and biochemical evidences of the existence of Par-LpIIA in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2021 · 7,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Endoribonuclease Domain of IRE1 and its Substrate HAC1 are Structurally Linked Components of the Unfolded Protein Response in FungiLuis David Maldonado-BonillaThe unfolded protein response sustains the folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum under conditions that increase the activity of the secretory pathway. In fungi, the unfolded protein response exclusively depends on the kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1, which senses the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and catalyzes the committed step in the unconventional splicing of HAC1 mRNA that encodes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2020 · 6,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Polymorphisms at Heat Shock Protein 90 Gene by High Resolution Melting Assays for Potential Heat Tolerance among Nigerian Zebu Cattle BreedsGbolabo Onasanya, George Msalya, Aranganoor Thiruvenkadan et al.Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 90 gene is a member of HSPs sub-family that act as molecular chaperons whenever animals come under thermal stress. The genes fulfill essential roles of providing cellular protection, immune response, protein synthesis, protein folding and unfolding, protection from cellular stress, inhibitory apoptosis and adaptation. This study was designed to analyze polymorphisms of HSP 90 and to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2020 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtein Sequences Features Extraction for Predicting Beta- Turns and their Types: A ReviewMurtada Khalafallah Elbashir ElfakiBeta-turns are considered to be important secondary structure types that have essential role in molecular recognition, protein folding and stability. They represent 25% of protein structures, therefore they are the most common type of non-repetitive or tight turns structures. Their prediction is considered to be an important issue in bioinformatics and molecular biology, because it provides valuable information and inputs … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 1 Oct 2019 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
