## Synopsis A vibrational force field for the polypeptide chain has been developed for normal-mode analysis of such molecules. It can reproduce observed frequencies of known structures to within about 5 cm-l. We review the application of this technique to conformational problems in peptides (@-tur

β¦ Synopsis
The topological aspects of the conformational transformations in a polypeptide chain are investigated in relation to the problem of selecting the minimum-energy pathways in protein folding.

Using potential energy formulas for variation of bond angles and for w-distortion, the conformation of minimum energy for the cis form of the petide unit has been worked out. This agrees very well with the corresponding set of atoms in the crystal structure of Leu-Pro-Gly and the dimensions of a sta
We present a fast ab initio method for the prediction of local conformations in proteins. The program, PETRA, selects polypeptide fragments from a computer-generated database (APD) encoding all possible peptide fragments up to twelve amino acids long. Each fragment is defined by a representative set
Recently, a new procedure for the assignment of protein 'H-nmr spectra was introduced that relies on stereochemical considerations of proton-proton distances in polypeptides and on the use of two-dimensional nmr for obtaining 'H-lH through-bond and through-space connectivity maps. In the present pap
The degradation of the majority of cellular proteins is mediated by the proteasomes. Ubiquitin -dependent proteasomal protein degradation is executed by a number of enzymes that interact to modify the substrates prior to their engagement with the 26S proteasomes. The 26S proteasome is made of two co
