Pulsed 180-GHz EPR/ENDOR/PELDOR spectroscopy.
Within this review, we describe a home-built pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer operating at 180 GHz as well as the incorporation of two double resonance techniques, electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and pulsed electron double resonance (PELDOR), along with first applications. Hahn-echo decays on a TEMPO/polystyrene sample are presented, demonstrating that the obs...
متن کاملStructures and reaction pathways of the molybdenum centres of sulfite-oxidizing enzymes by pulsed EPR spectroscopy.
SOEs (sulfite-oxidizing enzymes) are physiologically vital and occur in all forms of life. During the catalytic cycle, the five-co-ordinate square pyramidal oxo-molybdenum active site passes through the Mo(V) state, and intimate details of the structure can be obtained from variable frequency pulsed EPR spectroscopy through the hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions of nearby magnetic nu...
متن کاملStructural Studies of the Hsp90-Cdc37 Complex Using EPR Spectroscopy
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone, a vital protein that facilitates the folding and unfolding of a variety of proteins or ‘clients’. Kinases are one such client, with over half of the human kinome dependent on Hsp90 for activation (1). As its name suggests, Hsp90 is a heat shock protein and thus is highly expressed when the cell is under stress to ensure that proteins are folded and active. Its ex...
متن کاملProbing secondary structures of spin-labeled RNA by pulsed EPR spectroscopy.
The ability of RNA to interconvert between multiple conformational states is essential for the diversity of biological functions that have been discovered in the recent past. For example, the correct operation of regulatory RNA elements, such as riboswitches, is based on the precise interplay of alternative RNA conformations. Studying the molecular mechanisms of RNA function entails probing RNA...
متن کاملSarcolipin interaction with SERCA is distinct from Phospholamban; only Sarcolipin can promote uncoupling of the SERCA pump
SERCA pump activity is modulated by Phospholamban (PLB) and Sarcolipin (SLN) in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Recent data suggest that SLN could play a role in muscle thermogenesis by promoting uncoupling of the SERCA pump (Lee, A.G. (2002) Current opinion in structural biology 12(4):547-554 and Bal et al (2012) Nature Medicine 18(10):1575-1579) but the mechanistic details are unknown. To better...
