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?
The Davson–Danielli model (or paucimolecular model) was a model of the plasma membrane of a cell, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli. The model describes a phospholipid bilayer that lies between two layers of globular proteins , which is both trilaminar and lipoprotinious. [ 1 ]
Graphical models have become powerful frameworks for protein structure prediction, protein–protein interaction, and free energy calculations for protein structures. Using a graphical model to represent the protein structure allows the solution of many problems including secondary structure prediction, protein-protein interactions, protein-drug interaction, and free energy calculations.
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.
The proteolipid code relies on the concept of a zone, which is a functional region of membrane that is assembled and stabilized with both protein and lipid dependency. Integral and lipid-anchored proteins are proposed to form three types of zones: proteins with an associated lipid fingerprint, [9] protein islands, and lipid-only voids. Although ...
The Swiss-model Workspace integrates programs and databases required for protein structure prediction and modelling in a web-based workspace. Depending on the complexity of the modelling task, different modes of use can be applied, in which the user has different levels of control over individual modelling steps: automated mode, alignment mode, and project mode.
It can be applied to any model organism. Currently has 3 modules: a sequence conservation explorer that includes homology relationships and single nucleotide polymorphism data, a protein structure model explorer, a molecular interaction network explorer, a gene product subcellular localization explorer, and a gene expression pattern explorer.
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 ...
