Journal ArticleDOI
Protein fold similarity estimated by a probabilistic approach based on Cα-Cα distance comparison
TL;DR: The distribution of the C(alpha)-C(alpha) distances between residues separated by three to 30 amino acid residues is highly characteristic of protein folds and makes it possible to identify them from a straightforward comparison of the distance histograms as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of model complexes of copper nitrite reductase
TL;DR: The copper(I) and copper(II) complexes with the nitrogen donor ligands bis[(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)methyl]amine (1-BB), bis[2-(1- methylbenzicyl)ethyl]amine(2-BB) (AcBB), and triclinic, P&onemacr (No. 2) have been studied as models for copper nitrite reductase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique features of the sodC-encoded superoxide dismutase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a fully functional copper-containing enzyme lacking zinc in the active site.
Laura Spagnolo,Imre Törö,Melania D'Orazio,Peter O'Neill,Jens Z. Pedersen,Oliviero Carugo,Oliviero Carugo,Giuseppe Rotilio,Andrea Battistoni,Kristina Djinović-Carugo +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the observed structural rearrangements are required to build up a zinc-independent but fully active and stable copper-containing SOD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between side chain mobility and conformation in protein structures.
Oliviero Carugo,Patrick Argos +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that side chain atoms are more mobile if they are in a non-rotameric configuration and that the stereochemistry of protein structures cannot be fully assessed or simulated without consideration of thermal factors that monitor flexibility in various regions of the protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Half a century of Ramachandran plots
TL;DR: In the present review, some of the most relevant aspects of this fifty-year history are summarized, from the original ideas of Gopalasamudram Narayana Ramachandran to subsequent revisions and to applications in structural biology.
