Overview

  • Proteomics tools for almost all purposes

– ExPASy Server (Expert Protein Annotation System)

  • Structural Classification of Proteins

– CATH and SCOP databases

  • 3D protein structure information and visualization

– wwPDB containing RCSB-PDB – different embedded visualization tools

  • Specialized protein databases (e.g., GPCR DB)
  • CASP: protein structure predition contest

Protein Domains

  • “building blocks” of proteins
  • functional units
  • Major Domain Databases:

– Pfam – SMART

SCOP

  • 4 Levels

– Class (alpha; beta; alpha/beta; alpha+beta) – Fold (1000 folds) – superfamily (evolutionary relationship) – family

  • Proteins in each family consist of the same

domains

Homology Search

  • Structure Predication by Homology search:

– find structure in PDB with similar sequence as

query protein

  • High sequence similarity implies evolutionary

relation and structural similarity

  • However: structural similarity does not imply

high sequence similarity (even 20% is ok)

Threading

  • Try to fit a given sequence on all known

structures

  • Background: Angles of bonds between different

amino acids must be in a limited range

  • “dual” to Homology modeling

Ab Initio Prediction

  • Molecular Dynamics (“low level”)

– propose a confirmation, compute its stability, modify – very compute-intensive – only for short peptides

  • Fragment Assembly

– Assemble predicted 3D-structures of short

fragments into a larger 3D structure
