WebbThe structures have been determined to a resolution of 2.5 A˚ or better; the metals considered are Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Na and K, with particular emphasis on Ca and Zn and the exclusion of haem groups and Fe/S clusters; the proteins are a representative set in which none has more than 30% sequence identity with any other. WebbGlobular proteins acquire distinct compact native conformations in water as a result of the hydrophobic effect. 7 When a protein has been folded in the correct way, it usually exists with the hydrophobic core as a result of being hydrated by waters in the system around it which is important because it creates a charged core to the protein and can lead to the … Webb20 feb. 2013 · The outcome of protein fold recognition was improved by the abovementioned methods with respect to: 1) improved classification accuracy using … hartzell fan incorporated
