The Protein Folding Problem

The Protein Folding Problem

Proteins in living systems carry out a great variety of specific functions each of which depends on the precise three-dimensional structure of a particular protein. Proteins are synthesized in the form of a flexible polypeptide chain that is capable of assuming a vast number of configurations; the transformation of this chain into a specific relatively rigid three-dimensional structure is called folding-a remarkable process of self-organization. It is known that the amino acid sequences of some proteins have sufficient information to determine their three-dimensional structures. There are other proteins whose folding requires additional information beyond that found in the sequence of the mature protein. This book introduces the central problem of folding mechanisms as well as a number of other closely related issues. This book is neither a textbook nor a treatise. Rather it is an attempt by several investigators to convey the excitement and challenges of those aspects of the folding problem in which they are actively engaged. The contributors give brief introductions to protein folding from the perspectives of molecular architecture stability and dynamics phage genetics DNA exons general physiology and natural selection. They point out emerging new directions including the suggestion of a class of diseases that result from protein folding defects. | The Protein Folding Problem

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Proteins serve as an important nutritional as well as structural component of foods. Not only do they provide an array of amino acids necessary for maintaining human health but also act as thickening stabilizing emulsifying foaming gelling and binding agents. The ability of a protein to possess and demonstrate such unique functional properties depends largely on its inherent structure configuration and how they interact with other food constituents like polysaccharides lipids and polyphenolic compounds. Proteins from animal sources have superior functionality higher digestibility and lower anti-nutrient components than plant proteins. However consumer preferences are evolving worldwide for ethically and sustainably sourced clean cruelty-free vegan or vegetarian plant-based food products. Unlike proteins from animal sources plant proteins are more versatile religiously and culturally acceptable among vegetarian and vegan consumers and associated with lower food processing waste water and soil requirement. Thus the processing and utilization of plant proteins have gained worldwide attention and as such numerous scientific studies are focusing on enhancing the utilization of plant proteins in food and pharmaceutical products through various processing and modification techniques to improve their techno-functional properties bioactivity bioavailability and digestibility. Novel Plant Protein Processing: Developing the Foods of the Future presents a roadmap for plant protein science and technology which will focus on plant protein ingredient development plant protein modification and the creation of plant protein-based novel foods.

Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

The Latest Developments on the Role of Dynamics in Protein Functions Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics: From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods presents modern biomolecular computational techniques that address protein flexibility/dynamics at all levels of theory. An international contingent of leading researchers in chemistry physics and biology show how these advanced methods provide insights into dynamic aspects of biochemical processes. A particular focus is on intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) which lack a well-defined three-dimensional structure and function as dynamic ensembles. The book covers a wide spectrum of dynamics from electronic structure-based to coarse-grained techniques via multiscaling at different levels. After an introduction to dynamics and historical overview of basic methodologies the book addresses the following issues: Is there a quantitative relationship between enzymatic catalysis and protein dynamics? Which are the functionally relevant motions of proteins? How can structural properties and partner recognition mechanisms of IDPs be simulated? How can we speed up molecular dynamics? How can we describe conformational ensembles by the synergistic effort of computations and experiments? While dynamics is now considered essential for interpreting protein action it is not yet an integral component in establishing structure–function relationships of proteins. Helping to reshape this classical view in biochemistry this groundbreaking book explores advances in computational methodology and contributes to the new ensemble way of studying proteins. | Computational Approaches to Protein Dynamics From Quantum to Coarse-Grained Methods

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Production of world food supplies is related to more complicated socioeconomic variables than have previously been analyzed. Besides traditional inputs of land labor and fertilizer the technological capabilities and a variety of nutritional and other human capital components are significant independent variables in explaining agricultural production in the developing world. The integration of economic analyses with the concepts of nutritional science offers an expanded and effective means for analyzing the complex problems of agricultural production in nutritionally deficient countries. Bernard Schmitt traces the circular relationship between nutrition and human capital labor productivity food production and per capita consumption of calories and protein. He defines the basic nutritional terms that are most useful to economists in analyzing agricultural and foodrelated questions and provides examples that stress the importance of concentrating on nutritional quality as well as gross quantity. Transformations are used to convert quantities into basic nutritional components allowing more meaningful quantitative analyses in an econometric framework. Dr. Schmitt presents a flexible methodology for forecasting commodity production using it to make projections for the developing countries for each major commodity group and to test various policy alternatives such as extensive trade expanded food assistance programs substantial resource or input expansion further expansion of Green Revolution technology and development of alternatives to agriculture. Although he is certain that gains can be accomplished through population control and agricultural advances supplemented by alternative nutritional sources he concludes that conditions in nutritionally deficient countries are unlikely to improve on average through the mid-1980s. | Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries
