The CoHSI (Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information) distribution is at the heart of a wide-class of discrete systems, defining the length distribution of their components amongst other global properties. Discrete systems such as the…
The length distribution of proteins measured in amino acids follows the CoHSI (Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information) probability distribution. In previous papers we have verified various predictions of this using the Uniprot database…
We begin with the extraordinary observation that the length distribution of 80 million proteins in UniProt, the Universal Protein Resource, measured in amino acids, is qualitatively identical to the length distribution of large collections…
In previous papers we have described with strong experimental support, the organising role that CoHSI (Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information) plays in determining important global properties of all known proteins, from defining the…
A mechanism-free and symbol-agnostic conservation principle, the Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information (CoHSI) is predicted to constrain the structure of discrete systems regardless of their origin or function. Despite their distinct…
The Conservation of Energy plays a pivotal part in the development of the physical sciences. With the growth of computation and the study of other discrete token based systems such as the genome, it is useful to ask if there are…
Much evolutionary information is stored in the fluctuations of protein length distributions. The genome size and non-coding DNA content can be calculated based only on the protein length distributions. So there is intrinsic relationship…
Intracellular protein patterns are described by (nearly) mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems. While these patterns initially form out of a homogeneous steady state due to the well-understood Turing instability, no general theory…
Life on earth is distinguished by long-lived correlations in time. The patterns of material organization that characterize living organisms today are contingent on events that occurred billions of years ago. This contingency is a necessary…
Instead of conformation states of single residues, refined conformation states of quintuplets are proposed to reflect conformation correlation. Simple hidden Markov models combining with sliding window scores are used for predicting…
Since the pioneering works of Pethig, Grant and Wuthrich on protein hydration layer, many studies have been devoted to find out if there are any general and universal characteristic features that can distinguish water molecules inside the…
The evolutionary reason for the increase in gene length from archaea to prokaryotes to eukaryotes observed in large scale genome sequencing efforts has been unclear. We propose here that the increasing complexity of protein-protein…
Atomic packing is an important metric for characterizing protein structures, as it significantly influences various features including the stability, the rate of evolution and the functional roles of proteins. Packing in protein structures…
We analyse a simple discrete-time stochastic process for the theoretical modeling of the evolution of protein lengths. At every step of the process a new protein is produced as a modification of one of the proteins already existing and its…
Protein structures in nature often exhibit a high degree of regularity (secondary structures, tertiary symmetries, etc.) absent in random compact conformations. We demonstrate in a simple lattice model of protein folding that structural…
Proteins contain a large fraction of regular, repeating conformations, called secondary structure. A simple, generic definition of secondary structure is presented which consists of measuring local correlations along the protein chain.…
By providing new insights into the distribution of a protein's torsion angles, recent statistical models for this data have pointed the way to more efficient methods for protein structure prediction. Most current approaches have…
In this work, we propose a structure-preserving discretisation for the recently studied Cahn-Hilliard-Biot system using conforming finite elements in space and problem-adapted explicit-implicit Euler time integration. We prove that the…
The choice of structural resolution is a fundamental aspect of protein modelling, determining the balance between descriptive power and interpretability. Although atomistic simulations provide maximal detail, much of this information is…
The main chain dihedral angles play an important role to decide the protein conformation. The native states of a protein can be regard as an ensemble of a lot of similar conformations, in different conformations the main chain dihedral…
