Contribution of hydrogen bonds to protein stability.
Our goal was to gain a better understanding of the contribution of the burial of polar groups and their hydrogen bonds to the conformational stability of proteins. We measured the change in stability, Δ(ΔG), for a series of hydrogen bonding mutants in four proteins: villin headpiece subdomain (VHP) containing 36 residues, a surface protein from Borrelia burgdorferi (VlsE) containing 341 residue...
متن کاملThe contribution of C alpha-H...O hydrogen bonds to membrane protein stability depends on the position of the amide.
Structural analyses of membrane proteins reveal a large number of C(alpha)-H...O contacts between transmembrane helices, presumed to be hydrogen bonds. Recent experiments produced conflicting results for the contribution of such hydrogen bonds to membrane protein stability. An FTIR study estimated an energy of -0.88 kcal/mol for the G79-C(alpha)-H...I76-O hydrogen bond in glycophorin A, whereas...
متن کاملProtein thermal stability, hydrogen bonds, and ion pairs.
Researchers in both academia and industry have expressed strong interest in comprehending the mechanisms responsible for enhancing the thermostability of proteins. Many and different structural principles have been postulated for the increased stability. Here, 16 families of proteins with different thermal stability were theoretically examined by comparing their respective fractional polar atom...
متن کاملContribution of Hydrogen Bonds to Paper Strength Properties
The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of hydrogen bonds between fibres on static and dynamic strength properties of paper. A commercial bleached pinewood kraft pulp was soaked in water, refined in a PFI, and used to form paper webs in different solvents, such as water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol, to determine the effect of their dipole moment on static and...
متن کاملContribution of disulfide bonds and calcium to Molluscan hemocyanin stability.
Disulfide bonds and calcium ions contribute significantly to the stability of the hemocyanin from the mollusc Rapana thomasiana grosse (gastropod). An extremely powerful protective effect of Ca2+ at a concentration of 100 mM (100% protection) against the destructive effect of reductants like dithiothreitol was observed. This is important for the practical application of molluscan hemocyanins in...
