  2. Protein–lipid interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinlipid_interaction

    Protein–lipid interaction is the influence of membrane proteins on the lipid physical state or vice versa.. The questions which are relevant to understanding of the structure and function of the membrane are: 1) Do intrinsic membrane proteins bind tightly to lipids (see annular lipid shell), and what is the nature of the layer of lipids adjacent to the protein?

  3. Myristoylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myristoylation

    Myristoylation allows for weak protein–protein and protein–lipid interactions [5] and plays an essential role in membrane targeting, protein–protein interactions and functions widely in a variety of signal transduction pathways.

  4. Methods to investigate protein–protein interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_to_investigate...

    Protein–protein docking, the prediction of protein–protein interactions based only on the three-dimensional protein structures from X-ray diffraction of protein crystals might not be satisfactory. [44] [45] Network analysis includes the analysis of interaction networks using methods of graph theory or statistical methods.

  5. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    When consecutively measuring amino acids of a protein, changes in value indicate attraction of specific protein regions towards the hydrophobic region inside lipid bilayer. The hydrophobic or hydrophilic character of a compound or amino acid is its hydropathic character, [ 1 ] hydropathicity, or hydropathy.

  6. Protein–protein interaction prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinprotein...

    Protein–protein interaction prediction is a field combining bioinformatics and structural biology in an attempt to identify and catalog physical interactions between pairs or groups of proteins. Understanding protein–protein interactions is important for the investigation of intracellular signaling pathways, modelling of protein complex ...

  7. Lipid signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_signaling

    Common lipid signaling molecules: lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) platelet activating factor (PAF) anandamide or arachidonoyl ethanolamine (AEA). Lipid signaling, broadly defined, refers to any biological cell signaling event involving a lipid messenger that binds a protein target, such as a receptor, kinase or phosphatase, which in turn mediate the effects of these ...

  8. Protein function prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_function_prediction

    Information may come from nucleic acid sequence homology, gene expression profiles, protein domain structures, text mining of publications, phylogenetic profiles, phenotypic profiles, and protein-protein interaction. Protein function is a broad term: the roles of proteins range from catalysis of biochemical reactions to transport to signal ...

  9. Critical Assessment of Prediction of Interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_Assessment_of...

    Critical Assessment of PRediction of Interactions (CAPRI) is a community-wide experiment in modelling the molecular structure of protein complexes, otherwise known as protein–protein docking. The CAPRI [ 1 ] is an ongoing series of events in which researchers throughout the community attempt to dock the same proteins, as provided by the ...
