Abstract-- Stating protein design as an energy minimization in the space of amino acid sequences and rotamer combinations is usual. In the current paper an evolutionary algorithm b...
Background: Thermophilic organisms are able to live at high temperatures ranging from 50 to > 100°C. Their proteins must be sufficiently stable to function under these extreme...
Background: The PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, initially identified in type II restriction endonucleases and later in many enzymes involved in DNA recombination and repair, is o...
Background: The dynamic motions of many proteins are central to their function. It therefore follows that the dynamic requirements of a protein are evolutionary constrained. In or...
Background: When accurate models for the divergent evolution of protein sequences are integrated with complementary biological information, such as folded protein structures, anal...
