A self-consistent method for the analysis of protein secondary structure from circular dichroism

Analytical Biochemistry
N Sreerama, R W Woody

Abstract

A self-consistent procedure for estimating the secondary structure content from circular dichroism spectra of proteins is presented. In this method the spectrum of the protein to be analyzed is included in the basis set and an initial guess is made for the unknown structure as a first approximation. The resulting matrix equation is solved using the singular value decomposition algorithm and the initial guess is replaced by the solution. The process is repeated until self-consistency is attained. The best features of the variable selection and the locally linearized methods are incorporated in this procedure. We have applied this method to examine the inconsistencies in the CD data, to compare the predictions with different ranges and resolutions of the CD data, and to compare different assignments of secondary structures from X-ray structure analyses in the context of secondary structure predictions. The results are compared using the root mean square differences and correlation coefficients. The results obtained are as good as or better than the previous analyses. For most of the proteins considered the self-consistent solutions obtained with different initial guesses were similar. We find the Kabsch and Sander protein crystal...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
