Jamie Gillis, porn star, poker pro?

[imabigdeal]

when i saw the title of this thread i got excited, mainly because i figured it was talking about a GIRL and i figured there'd be pictures. it was not a girl. and it turns out, thankfully there were no pictures. McCutter, you can defend yourself all you want, but starting a thread about a male ex-pornstar is just plain weird.

It is readily obvious why most proteins' three-dimensional structure is generally encoded by the amino acid sequence alone. This is because proteins have been evolved to fold under very different conditions as organisms became more complex. For example, some cells have a lot of water and others have little. Consider also that proteins have the property of being functional across species that exist in different environments (thanks again to evolution) it makes sense that the sequences that have evolved are robust folders under many different conditions.

Thus there is a set of extrema where proteins will no longer fold, but within a certain range, the folding and the stability of the protein will be relatively the same. Since the folding process itself may be chaotic, it's only in terms of the overall general pathway and structure that the folding will be similar. (In other words, this is not to dismiss the effect of the environment on protein folding.)

Molecular chaperonins that lower the activation energy required to cross the transition state barrier, and those that permit a misfolded protein to refold (to a lesser degree), do indeed violate the view that the amino acid sequence alone is responsible for the three-dimensional structure, but this is a means of additional control of the folding process by the organism.
