Dynamics of alpha helix formation in the CSAW model.
We study the folding dynamics of polyalanine (Ala20), a protein fragment with 20 residues whose native state is a single alpha helix. We use the CSAW model (conditioned self-avoiding walk), which treats the protein molecule as a chain in Brownian motion, with interactions that include hydrophobic force and internal hydrogen bonding. We find that large-scale structures form before small-scale st...
متن کاملsuppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors
the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...
15 صفحه اولAlpha-helix formation by peptides of defined sequence.
The factors controlling alpha-helix formation in water by peptides of defined sequence are beginning to be understood. The field is close to the point where the extent of helix formation can be predicted for peptides of any sequence. Our own approach to the problem, and the main results obtained by following this approach, are summarized below. The chief reason for studying alpha-helix formatio...
متن کاملMSG effects on beta-endorphin and alpha-MSH in the hypothalamus and caudal medulla.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) was given to neonatal male rats to determine its effects on neurons containing beta-endorphin (beta-END) and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) within the basal hypothalamus (arcuate nucleus) and caudal medulla [nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS)] and on the levels of beta-END and alpha-MSH within these areas. Immunocytochemical studies demonstrated a redu...
متن کاملPresence of immunoreactive beta-endorphin in normal human plasma: a concomitant release of beta-endorphin with adrenocorticotropin after metyrapone administration.
To elucidate whether or not beta-endorphin exists in plasma of normal subjects, plasma extracts obtained before and after metyrapone administration were subjected to gel exclusion chromatography, and fractions obtained were assayed by a sensitive radioimmunoassay for beta-endorphin. The basal plasma level of beta-endorphin was 5.8 +/- 1.1 pg/ml (mean +/- SE, n = 5), which rose significantly to ...
