요약 | Although much is known about the experimentally measurable properties of individual proteins, we do not have a solid understanding of the universal properties that control protein structure and stability. The amount of protein crystal structure |
요약 | My work, building on prior protein structural studies, uses the new plethora of protein crystal structure data to develop a deeper understanding of the physical properties of proteins. I focus on using an atomistic model of proteins, involving s |
요약 | This dissertation presents three related computational studies of the properties of protein structures. In the first study, I present an analysis of the packing fraction of protein cores. I show that protein cores are composed of random close pa |
요약 | I then take a more detailed look at protein cores to quantify the amount of side chain dihedral angle movement possible in the core. To do this, I apply a hard-sphere model with stereochemical constraints to rotate the side chain dihedral angles |
요약 | Finally, I expand both of these studies to two other protein types: protein-protein interfaces and transmembrane proteins. For both datasets, I investigate the packing fraction and side chain predictability of both core and solvent exposed amino |
요약 | This thesis work challenges the commonly accepted properties of protein structure, in particular that proteins have a high packing fraction similar to crystalline packing of spheres and that transmembrane proteins are fundamentally different fro |
