Direct measurement of protein energy landscape roughness.
The energy landscape of proteins is thought to have an intricate, corrugated structure. Such roughness should have important consequences on the folding and binding kinetics of proteins, as well as on their equilibrium fluctuations. So far, no direct measurement of protein energy landscape roughness has been made. Here, we combined a recent theory with single-molecule dynamic force spectroscopy...
متن کاملProtein energy landscape roughness.
The 'new view' of proteins sees protein reactions as parallel processes occurring along funnelled energy landscapes. These landscapes are generally not smooth, but are superimposed by hills and valleys of different heights and widths leading to roughness on the energy surface. In the present paper, we describe the origins of protein energy landscape roughness, measurements of its scale and its ...
متن کاملMeasurement of energy landscape roughness of folded and unfolded proteins.
The dynamics of protein conformational changes, from protein folding to smaller changes, such as those involved in ligand binding, are governed by the properties of the conformational energy landscape. Different techniques have been used to follow the motion of a protein over this landscape and thus quantify its properties. However, these techniques often are limited to short timescales and low...
متن کاملDirect measurement of sequential folding pathway and energy landscape of human telomeric G-quadruplex structures.
Single-stranded guanine-rich sequences fold into compact G-quadruplexes. Although G-triplexes have been proposed and demonstrated as intermediates in the folding of G-quadruplexes, there is still a debate on their folding pathways. In this work, we employed magnetic tweezers to investigate the folding kinetics of single human telomeric G-quadruplexes in 100 mM Na(+) buffer. The results are cons...
متن کاملEnergy Landscape Analysis of Protein Dimers
Many cellular functions are carried out by proteins that are bound together in multiprotein complexes. The binding between two highly flexible proteins to form homodimers is studied here using energy landscape theory and simulations based on a perfectly funneled energy landscape. With the aim to survey the range of binding mechanisms, two sets of homodimers were selected based on the experiment...
