Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions by Irena Roterman-Konieczna
Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions: Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids delves into the effects of external conditions upon the protein folding process. The book considers how this can lead to amyloid formation and why proteins fold the way they do. It presents the fuzzy oil drop model (FOD-M), which enables the measurements of external factors influencing the folding process and considers changed external conditions as the source for the misfolding process. Sections provide an introduction to amyloid transformation and outline the hypothesis of the model simulation before considering the role of environmental factors, including the water environment and membrane environment. This book is a useful resource for researchers interested in investigating protein folding across molecular biology, structural biology, biochemistry, computational biology and related fields.
Professor Irena Roterman-Konieczna completed her PhD at the Nicolaus Copernicus Medical Academy Krakow, Poland and undertook her postdoctoral studies at Cornell University, USA. She is the director of the Department of Bioinformatics and Telemedicine at Jagiellonian University – Medical College, Poland. Her fields of interest are protein structure, folding simulation as well as systems biology. She is the author of "Protein Folding in Silico", published by Woodhead Publishing in 2012., and "From Globular Proteins to Amyloids" published by Elsevier in 2020.
