MODELLING INTERACTOMES RAM SAMUDRALA ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON How does the genome of an organism specify its behaviour and characteristics? How can we use this information to improve human health and quality of life?
MOTIVATION The functions necessary for life are undertaken by proteins and their interactions (with other proteins, DNA, RNA, and small molecules). Protein function is mediated by atomic three dimensional structure. Knowing protein structure at atomic resolution will therefore enable us to: Determine and understand molecular function. Understand substrate and ligand binding interactions. Devise intelligent mutagenesis and biochemical. experiments to understand biological function. Design therapeutics rationally. Design novel proteins. Knowing the atomic level structures of all proteins encoded by an organism’s genome, along with interactions, will enable us to understand the underlying mechanistic basis or “wiring diagram” that comprises pathways, systems, and organisms. Applications in the area of medicine, nanotechnology, and biological computing.

Many proteins fold into globular form upon interaction with substrate / interactor. Assumption of linear and globular forms. Goal is to understand protein structure, function, binding to hydroxyapatite, interaction with other amelogenin molecules, and formation of enamel and hard tissue formation
