Design of folded peptides
J Venkatraman, SC Shankaramma… - Chemical reviews, 2001 - ACS Publications
The construction of complex protein folds relies on the precise conversion of a linear
polypeptide chain into a compact 3-dimensional structure. The interplay of forces that link …

The alphabet of intrinsic disorder: I. Act like a Pro: On the abundance and roles of proline residues in intrinsically disordered proteins
A significant fraction of every proteome is occupied by biologically active proteins that do not
form unique three-dimensional structures. These intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and …

Folding of helical membrane proteins: the role of polar, GxxxG-like and proline motifs
Helical integral membrane proteins share several structural determinants that are widely
conserved across their universe. The discovery of common motifs has furthered our …
