In. Berezovsky et al., DEFINITION OF ENERGETICALLY SIGNIFICANT P ARTS OF GLOBULE AND HIERARCHY OF DOMAIN-STRUCTURE OF MACROMOLECULE OF PROTEIN, Biofizika, 42(3), 1997, pp. 567-576
We have justified a Van der Waals approach for the problem of domains
structure in globular proteins. A method for isolation of hierarchy of
Van der Waals interactions in the space of protein globule has been f
ound out. The definition of hierarchy's levels in the spatial structur
e of macromolecules Is effected by the position of maxima in the distr
ibution of potential energy of interactions. Multilevels system for do
main structure organization of globular proteins and method for isolat
ion of domains on different levels of energetical hierarchy has been e
stablished. Using this method we have revealed regions of different st
ability in 15 proteins globule.
