31. Radius of Gyration The radius of gyration Rgis defined by the root-mean-square distance between all atoms in a molecule and the centroid. In a globular protein the radius of gyration Rg can be predicted with reasonable accuracy from the relationship Rg(pred) = 2.2 N 0.38 where N is the number of amino acids.

34. Statistical Potentials wij(r) – interaction free energy ij(r) - pair density * - reference pair density at infinite separation Statistical potentials can be determined by simply counting interactions of a specific type in a dataset of experimental structures. The distance dependence may or may not be taken into account. If not, the interaction free energy is usuallycalled a contact potential. It represents an average over distances shorter than some cutoff distance rc. Thomas, Dill, J. Mol. Biol.1996, 257, 457-469

38. Ab Inition Protein Structure Prediction - Rosetta Structure representation: Only main-chain heavy atoms and Cbeta-atom of sidechains are taken into account, Bond lengths and bond angles are held constant and correspond to the alanine geometry. The only remaining geometrical variables are the backbone torsion angles. Structure generation: Generation of fragment libraries from experimental structures (3 and 9 amino acids). Splicing together fragments of proteins of known structure with similar sequences. The conformational space defined by these fragments is then searched by a Monte Carlo procedure with an energy function that favors compact structures with paired beta-strands and buried hydrophobic amino acids. A total of 1000 independent simulations are carried out (starting from different random number seeds) for each query sequence. The resulting structures are clustered. Initial evaluation by the scoring function Low-scoring conformations are identified by simulated annealing with a move set that involves replacing the torsion angles of a segment of the chain with a related amino acid sequence. Further evaluation by

44. Computational Thermostabilization PDB code: 1ox7 Cytosine deaminase (CD) catalyzes the deamination of cytosine (converts cytosine to uracil) and is only present in prokaryotes and fungi, where it is a member of the pyrimidine salvage pathway. The enzyme is of interest both for antimicrobial drug design and gene therapy applications against tumors.
