How does the genome of an organism
specify its behaviour
and characteristics?
Proteome – all proteins of a particular system
~60,000 in human
~60,000 in rice
~4500 in bacteria
like Salmonella and
E. coli
Several thousand
distinct sequence
families
Modelling proteomes – understand the structure of individual proteins
A few thousand
distinct structural
folds
Modelling proteomes – understand their individual functions
Thousands of
possible functions
Modelling proteomes – understand their expression
Different expression
patterns based on
time and location
Modelling proteomes – understand their interactions
Interactions and
expression patterns
are interdependent
with structure and
function

Methods for obtaining structure
Experimental
Theoretical
X-ray crystallography
NMR spectroscopy
De novo prediction
Homology modelling
De novo prediction of protein structure
sample conformational space such that
native-like conformations are found
select
hard to design functions
that are not fooled by
non-native conformations
(“decoys”)
astronomically large number of conformations
5 states/100 residues = 5100 = 1070

Assign confidence based on similarity and strength of interaction
Key paradigm is the use of homology to transfer information
across organisms; not limited to yeast, fly, and worm
Consensus of interactions helps with confidence assignments
