Houdini School HS-227: Visualizing Protein Data Bank Information

Introduction

Free Download Houdini School HS-227: Visualizing Protein Data Bank Information is a recorded course that teaches students how to visualize Protein Data Bank (PDB) information within Houdini. In this course, students will learn to process and visualize key data about proteins, including atomic values, atomic elements, bonds between elements, residues, and binding sites. The course also dives into the various systems within biological proteins and how to represent them visually.

The primary goal of this course is to equip students with the tools and knowledge to work with protein data, giving them a deeper understanding of how to represent scientific information in Houdini.

Tau Protein Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, 2754)


Free Download Tau Protein: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, 2754) by Caroline Smet-Nocca
English | March 22, 2024 | ISBN: 1071636286 | 626 pages | EPUB | 82 Mb
This volume explores the latest advancements and techniques to study Tau protein that include basic and advanced methods and protocols from in vitro assays to in vivo models that address the molecular and functional aspects of tau physiopathology and many of its related technical issues. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts: Part One describes conformational and functional studies of native tau protein using wet and non-wet lab protocols. Part Two looks at in vitro methods to monitor or control the formation of Tau oligomers and fibrils, and the fibrillization process. Part Three provides protocols for the characterization and in vitro introduction of post-translational modifications in Tau protein for further functional studies. Part Four describes analytical tools for the detection of Tau proteins under various forms, factors associated with Tau pathology, and MAPT gene studies. Finally, Part Five explores cellular and in vivo models for the investigations of Tau physiopathology. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Protein Secretion Methods and Protocols


Free Download Anastassios Economou, "Protein Secretion: Methods and Protocols"
English | 2010 | pages: 442 | ISBN: 1603271678 | PDF | 3,8 mb
Over the past thirty years, many elegant genetic and biochemical approaches have been combined in order to advance the study of protein secretion and the necessary navigation through cell membranes, yet, despite this progress, less than two hundred membrane protein structures are known, nowhere near the complete inventory that the discovered protein export systems suggest. In Protein Secretion: Methods and Protocols, leading experts in the field provide robust, well-established protocols to elucidate the multiplicity of tools that have been developed to study protein sorting, membrane targeting, transmembrane crossing, and secretion across multiple membranes. With examples involving both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, the volume covers subjects ranging from bioinformatics and proteomics to fundamental enzymology and genetics to cell biology, structural analyses, and biophysics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the key materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and detailed notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Advanced Technologies for Protein Complex Production and Characterization


Free Download Advanced Technologies for Protein Complex Production and Characterization by M. Cristina Vega
English | March 21, 2024 | ISBN: 3031521927 | 223 pages | MOBI | 12 Mb
This edited volume discusses the identification, discovery, characterization, structure determination and modeling of multicomponent macromolecular complexes, and as such, it fully complements the first volume (ISBN 978-3-319-27214-6), which targeted methods of recombinant production of protein complexes. This book is divided in 8 sections offering a selection of technologies widely used in the characterization of protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes for different purposes and at different scales. From native electrophoresis methods, that are accessible to any reasonably well-equipped laboratory, to the sophisticated setup required for structure determination by cryo-electron microscopy or X-ray crystallography, this book contains a wide variety of clearly explained analytic and preparative approaches, connected with the production techniques developed on the previous volume.
