Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture. Protein purification is vital for the characterization of the function, structure and interactions of the protein of interest. The starting material is usually a biological tissue or a microbial culture. The various steps in the purification process may free the protein from a matrix that confines it, separate the protein and non protein parts of the mixture, and finally separate the desired protein from all other proteins. Separation of one protein from all others is typically the most laborious aspect of protein purification. Separation steps may exploit differences in for example protein size, physico chemical properties, binding affinity and biological activity.

Orphan date February 2009 In protein structure , STRIDE Str uctural ide ntification is an algorithm for the assignment of protein secondary structure elements given the atomic coordinates of the protein, as defined by X ray crystallography , protein NMR , or another protein structure determination method. In addition to the hydrogen bond criteria used by the more common DSSP protein DSSP algorithm, the STRIDE assignment criteria also include dihedral angle potentials. As such, its criteria for defining individual secondary structures are more complex than those of DSSP. The STRIDE potential function energy function contains a hydrogen bond term containing a Lennard Jones potential Lennard Jones like 8 6 distance dependent potential and two angular dependence factors reflecting the planar ity of the optimized hydrogen bond geometry. The criteria for individual secondary structural elements, which are divided into the same groups as those reported by DSSP, also contain statistical probability factors derived from empirical examinations of solved structures with visually assigned secondary structure elements extracted from the Protein Data Bank . Although DSSP is the older method and continues to be the most commonly used, the original STRIDE definition reported it to give a more satisfactory structural assignment in at least 70 of cases. In particular, STRIDE was observed to correct for the propensity of DSSP to assign shorter secondary structures than would be assigned by an expert crystallographer, usually due to the minor local variations in structure that are most common near ... based protein secondary structure assignment.

Pasha , also known as DGCR8 in vertebrates, is a protein localized to the cell nucleus that is required for microRNA processing. It binds to Drosha , an RNase III enzyme , to form the Microprocessor complex that cleaves a primary transcript known as pri miRNA to a characteristic stem loop structure known as a pre miRNA, which is then further processed to miRNA fragments by the enzyme Dicer . Pasha contains an RNA binding domain and is thought to bind pri miRNA to stabilize it for processing by Drosha.

File Protein sequencer.jpg A Beckman Coulter Porton LF3000G protein sequencing machine thumb Protein sequencing is a technique to determine the amino acid sequence of a protein, as well as which conformation the protein adopts and the extent to which it is complexed with any non peptide molecules. Discovering ... more easily. The two major direct methods of protein sequencing are mass spectrometry and the Edman ... sequence encoding the protein, if this is known. However, there are a number of other reactions which can be used to gain more limited information about protein sequences and can be used as preliminaries ... of a protein prior to attempting to find the ordered sequence, as this knowledge can be used to facilitate ... for digestion of the protein. A generalized method often referred to as amino acid analysis ref cite ... amino acid frequency is as follows Hydrolyse a known quantity of protein into its constituent amino acids. Separate the amino acids in some way. Hydrolysis Hydrolysis is done by heating a sample of the protein ... with a reagent which will selectively label the terminal amino acid. Hydrolyse the protein ... carboxypeptidase s to a solution of the protein, take samples at regular intervals, and determine the terminal ... The Edman degradation is a very important reaction for protein sequencing, because it allows the ordered amino acid composition of a protein to be discovered. Automated Edman sequencers are now in widespread ... scheme for sequencing a protein by the Edman degradation follows some of the steps are elaborated on subsequently. Break any disulfide bridge s in the protein with an oxidising agent like performic ... to prevent the bonds from re forming. Separate and purify the individual chains of the proteincomplex, if there are more than one. Determine the amino acid composition of each chain. Determine ... pattern of cleavage. Construct the sequence of the overall protein. Digestion into peptide fragments .... Because of this, long protein chains need to be broken up into small fragments which can then be sequenced ... more details
