Energies model proteins conversion

Designed elastic model proteins exhibit diverse Junctions that mimic biological functions by diverse means of controlling association of oillike domains. As a result, five experimentally derived axioms phenomenologically categorize means by which energy conversions occur through control of association of oil-like domains. 

A diverse set of energy conversions that sustain life can be experimentally demonstrated by de novo design of elastic-contractile model proteins under the precept of a single, pervasive, mechanism, that is, by a consilient mechanism that creates a common groundwork of explanation. It is a mechanism that achieves function by controlling association of... 

Figure 1.7. Shown are the first reported data of the conversion by an elastic-contractile model protein of chemical energy due to an increase in concentration of acid into the mechanical work of contraction. A Length changes at constant force (isotonic contraction) in phosphate-buffered saline. B Force changes at constant length (isometric contraction) in phosphate-buffered saline.

These experimental demonstrations of our capacity to design model proteins that perform key biological energy conversions constitute our access to the question o/What Sustains Life. 

Figure 2.6. In general, the conversion from the extended state to the contracted state shown in Figure 2.5 is graphed here as a systematic family of sigmoid-shaped curves with a common dependence of oil-like character of the elastic-contractile model protein whether the energy input is thermal, chemi-...

The essential aspect of the capacity of the inverse temperature transition to achieve diverse energy conversions resides within large chain molecules, which were just becoming known when the first edition of Schrodinger s book appeared. As we have sketched above, the functional properties of the model protein-...
