Title: Calculating ensemble averaged descriptions of protein rigidity without sampling
Author: Jacobs, Donald J., Gonzalez, Luis C., Wang, Hui, Livesay, Dennis R.
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Proteins
Description: Previous works have demonstrated that protein rigidity is related to thermodynamic stability, especially under conditions that favor formation of native structure. Mechanical network rigidity properties of a single conformation are efficiently cal...

Title: Changes in Lysozyme flexibility upon mutation are frequent, large and long-ranged
Author: Jacobs, Donald J., Verma, Deeptak, Livesay, Dennis R.
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics, Statistics
Description: We investigate changes in human c-type lysozyme flexibility upon mutation via a Distance Constraint Model, which gives a statistical mechanical treatment of network rigidity. Specifically, two dynamical metrics are tracked. Changes in flexibility ...

Title: Genomic organization, evolution, and expression of photoprotein and opsin genes in Mnemiopsis leidyi : a new view of ctenophore photocytes
Author: Reitzel, Adam M., Schnitzler, Christine E.
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Bioluminescence, Biology
Description: Background: Calcium-activated photoproteins are luciferase variants found in photocyte cells of bioluminescent jellyfish (Phylum Cnidaria) and comb jellies (Phylum Ctenophora). The complete genomic sequence from the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, a...
