Topology of beta-strands in "Greek-key" protein motif.

Protein topology is a property of protein molecule that does not change under deformation (without cutting or breaking a bond).

Frameworks

[edit]

Two main topology frameworks have been developed and applied to protein molecules.

Knot Theory

[edit]

Knot theory which categorises chain entanglements. The usage of knot theory is limited to a small percentage of proteins as most of them are unknot.

Circuit topology

[edit]

Circuit topology categorises intra-chain contacts based on their arrangements. Circuit topology is a determinant of protein folding kinetics[1] and stability.[2]

Other Uses

[edit]

In biology literature, the term topology is also used to refer to mutual orientation of regular secondary structures, such as alpha-helices and beta strands in protein structure[3] [1]. For example, two adjacent interacting alpha-helices or beta-strands can go in the same or in opposite directions. Topology diagrams of different proteins with known three-dimensional structure are provided by PDBsum (an example).
