Modelling protein three-dimensional structure using tritium planigraphy.
We propose the use of data on the topography of the label-accessible surface of a protein molecule obtained by the method of tritium planigraphy as a criterion for choosing the optimal intermediate arrangements of alpha-helices in globular proteins so as to model their three-dimensional structures. This approach has been used for modelling the three-dimensional structure of parvalbumin III from pike. The proposed model has been compared with high-resolution X-ray structural data for a related protein, paryvalbumin from carp. The possibilities and limitations of this approach are discussed.
