Dancing Protein Clouds: Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Health and Disease, Part B (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dancing Protein Clouds: Intrinsically Disordered Proteins in Health and Disease, Part B, represents a set of selected studies on a variety of research topics related to intrinsically disordered proteins. Topics in this update include structural and functional characterization of several important intrinsically disordered proteins, such as 14-3-3 proteins and their partners, as well as proteins from muscle sarcomere; representation of intrinsic disorder-related concept of protein structure-function continuum; discussion of the role of intrinsic disorder in phenotypic switching; consideration of the role of intrinsically disordered proteins in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer; discussion of the roles of intrinsic disorder in functional amyloids; demonstration of the usefulness of the analysis of translational diffusion of unfolded and intrinsically disordered proteins; consideration of various computational tools for evaluation of functions of intrinsically disordered regions; and discussion of the role of shear stress in the amyloid formation of intrinsically disordered regions in the brain.

• Provides some recent studies on the intrinsically disordered proteins and their functions, as well as on the involvement of intrinsically disordered proteins in pthogenesis of various diseases
• Contains numerous illustrative materials (color figures, diagrams, and tables) to help the readers to delve in the information provided
• Includes contributions from recognized experts in the field

Autorenporträt

Vladimir N. Uversky is a Professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine, University of
South Florida, USA. He obtained B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics from Leningrad State
University in Russia in 1986, then completed Ph.D. and Doctor of Sciences (D.Sc.) degrees
in Physics and Mathematics (field of study - Biophysics) at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1991) and the Institute Experimental and Theoretical Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1998), respectively. In 1998, he moved to the University of California Santa Cruz to study protein folding, misfolding, protein conformation diseases, and protein intrinsic disorder phenomena. In 2004, he was invited to join the Indiana University School of Medicine to primary work on intrinsically disordered proteins, and since 2010 has been on faculty at the University of South Florida. He has authored over 850 scientific publications and edited several books and book series on protein structure.
