The use of position‐specific rotamers in model building by homology

Abstract In this study we concentrate on replacing side chains as a subtask of model building by homology. Two problems arise. How to determine potential low energy rotamers? An...

Completion and refinement of 3‐D homology models with restricted molecular dynamics: Application to targets 47, 58, and 111 in the CASP modeling competition and posterior analysis

Abstract A method is presented to refine models built by homology by the use of restricted molecular dynamics (MD) techniques. The basic idea behind this method is the use of st...

Amyloids protect the silkmoth oocyte and embryo

Chorion is the major component of silkmoth eggshell. More than 95% of its dry mass consists of proteins that have remarkable mechanical and chemical properties protecting the oo...
