Tlusty's topological rate distortion approach to the genetic code is applied to the problem of protein symmetries and to the analysis of protein folding rates. Unlike the genetic case, numerous ...

While we often think of diseases as caused by foreign bodies -- bacteria or viruses -- there are hundreds of diseases affecting humans that result from errors in cellular production of its proteins. A ...

Tlusty's topological arguments regarding the genetic code are applied to the classification of tertiary irregular protein symmetries. Unlike the genetic case, two protein folding codes are found, a ...
