Often considered the workhorse of the cellular machinery, proteins are responsible for functions ranging from molecular motors to signaling. The broad recognition of their involvement in all cellular processes has led to focused efforts to predict their functions from sequences, and if available, from their structures. An overview of current research directions, Computational Protein-Protein Interactions examines topics in the prediction of protein-protein interactions, including interference with protein-protein interactions and their design.

Protein Folding Protocols presents protocols for studying and characterizing steps and conformational ensembles populating pathways in protein folding from the unfolded to the folded state. It further presents a sample of approaches toward the prediction of protein structure starting from the amino acid sequence, in the absence of overall homologous sequences. Protein folding is a crucial step in the transfer of genetic information from the DNA to the protein. The Genome Project has led to a huge number of available DNA sequences and, therefore, protein sequences. The Structural Genomics...

As one of the fastest growing fields of research in the 21st century, nanotechnology is sure to have an enormous impact on many aspects of our lives. Nanostructure Design: Methods and Protocols serves as a major reference for theoretical and experimental considerations in the design of biological and bio-inspired building blocks, the physical characterization of the formed structures, and the development of their technical applications. The chapters contributed by leading experts are divided into two sections, the first of which covers experimental aspects of nanostructure design and the...
