Conformational Epitope of the Type III

conformational properties and the anomeric effect study of phosphinanes

Ab initio HF/6-31G* Methode was employed to calculate the bond length in 2- phosphinanes when electronegative groups was at C-2 tend axial and equatorial positions. The magnitude of the anomeric effect depends on the nature of the substituent, the effect of the substituent can be seen by comparing the bond length in 2-chloro and 2- boromo substituented phosphinanes. The effect of anomeric effec...

Conformational flexibility of RNA polymerase III during transcriptional elongation.

RNA polymerase (Pol) III is responsible for the transcription of genes encoding small RNAs, including tRNA, 5S rRNA and U6 RNA. Here, we report the electron cryomicroscopy structures of yeast Pol III at 9.9 Å resolution and its elongation complex at 16.5 Å resolution. Particle sub-classification reveals prominent EM densities for the two Pol III-specific subcomplexes, C31/C82/C34 and C37/C53, t...

SAXS ensemble refinement of ESCRT-III CHMP3 conformational transitions.

We developed and implemented an ensemble-refinement method to study dynamic biomolecular assemblies with intrinsically disordered segments. Data from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments and from coarse-grained molecular simulations were combined by using a maximum-entropy approach. The method was applied to CHMP3 of ESCRT-III, a protein with multiple helical domains separated by fle...

The structure of manumycin. III. Absolute configuration and conformational studies.

Chromic acid oxidation of manumycin (1), an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces parvulus (strain Tü 64), led to the isolation of 2-(2-methyl-4-oxo-2-pentenoylamino)-5,6-epoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (3) and (-)-(R)-2-methylhexanoic acid (4). From the absolute configuration of 4, determined by comparing its optical rotation with published data, follows the absolute configuration at the center of chiral...
