Abstract

The three-dimensional arrangement of ammo acids in a protein dictates its biological properties One of the urgent challenges of modern biology is to decipher the relationship between the linear sequence of ammo acids and the conformation adopted by proteins Success is predicting protein conformation from the primary structure can be anticipated to permit rational design of therapeutic formulations to treat intractable human diseases and of probes for research in fundamental biological problems
