The Three Functional States of Proteins
Author: Timir Tripathi
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0443218102
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1162
Book Description
The Three Functional States of Proteins explores how structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, and phase separated proteins contribute to the complexity of cellular life, and offers insights into their roles in both health and disease. It discusses the latest research findings and highlight groundbreaking discoveries and innovative methodologies used to study these protein states. Traditionally, the different states of proteins have been defined based on their structures and functions. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that these criteria alone may not be sufficient to capture the complex and multifaceted properties of these molecules. Definitions based on thermodynamics and kinetics are now recognized as potentially more appropriate for comprehensively understanding protein states. Emerging evidence indicates that under physiological conditions, a majority of proteins possess the capability to exist in and transition between the native, droplet, and amyloid states. These distinct states play crucial roles in various cellular functions, influenced significantly by their physicochemical and structural properties. The book also considers the interactions among these states and discusses how their internal organization as individual molecules, as well as their collective organization as molecular assemblies are stabilized. Furthermore, it examines the processes by which these states are formed and the cellular functions associated with each specific state. - The book serves as an introduction to a unique volume that provides comprehensive coverage of these three functional states of proteins - The chapters are written by leading global scientists who are actively engaged in research on these specific protein states - It presents a broad picture of the current, emerging, and evolving research on these protein states - Given that this book comprehensively addresses both foundational concepts and recent advancements in the field, it will appeal a broad spectrum of readers from various academic disciplines

From Globular Proteins to Amyloids
Author: Irena Roterman-Konieczna
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0081029829
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
From Globular Proteins to Amyloids proposes a model and mechanism for explaining protein misfolding. Concepts presented are based on a model originally intended to show how proteins attain their native conformations. This model is quantitative in nature and founded upon arguments derived from information theory. It facilitates prediction and simulation of the amyloid fibrillation process, also identifying the progressive changes that occur in native proteins that lead to the emergence of amyloid aggregations. - Introduces basic rules for protein folding, along with the conditions that result in misfolding - Presents research that lies in treating the aqueous environment as a continuum rather than a set of individual water molecules (i.e. the classic representation) - Provides practical applications for helping the prevention of amyloidosis and improving drug design
