Secondary Structure Effects on the Acidity of Histidine and Lysine-Based Peptides Model; A Theoretical Study
In this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (R), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. These structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. Computational methods at the HF, B3LYP, X3LYP and M05-2X levels in t...
متن کاملA ligand-induced switch in the periplasmic domain of sensor histidine kinase CitA.
Sensor histidine kinases of two-component signal-transduction systems are essential for bacteria to adapt to variable environmental conditions. However, despite their prevalence, it is not well understood how extracellular signals such as ligand binding regulate the activity of these sensor kinases. CitA is the sensor histidine kinase in Klebsiella pneumoniae that regulates the transport and an...
متن کاملThe switch-on luminescence sensing of histidine-rich proteins in solution: a further application of a Cu2+ ligand.
A new probe/Cu(2+) complex for the detection of his-tagged protein has been developed, based on an improved probe, Dansyl-Gly-Py (1), by closely mimicing the structure of a peptide, ATCUN. In aqueous solution, 1/Cu(2+) has good selectivity to histidine and cysteine, and further can detect histidine-rich protein by releasing the quenched fluorescence of 1.
متن کاملHemoglobin Istanbul: substitution of glutamine for histidine in a proximal histidine (F8(92) ).
A presumably spontaneous mutation has resulted in the formation of Hemoglobin (Hb) Istanbul in which glutamine is substituted for histidine in the proximal position of the beta-chain (F8(92)). The anemia and other physiological effects that occur in the presence of Hb Istanbul were much ameliorated by splenectomy. Hb Istanbul is a relatively unstable molecule which produces a rather moderate ca...
متن کاملIdentification of histidine 45 as the axial heme iron ligand of heme oxygenase-2.
A truncated, soluble, and enzymatically active form of human heme oxygenase-2 (DeltaHHO2) was expressed in Escherichia coli. To identify the axial heme ligand of HO-2, His-45 to Ala (DeltaH45A) and His-152 to Ala (DeltaH152A) mutants have been prepared using this expression system. DeltaH45A could form a 1:1 complex with hemin but was completely devoid of the heme degradation activity. A 5-coor...
