متن کاملRapid mixing methods for exploring the kinetics of protein folding.
Information on the time-dependence of molecular species is critical for elucidating reaction mechanisms in chemistry and biology. Rapid flow experiments involving turbulent mixing of two or more solutions continue to be the main source of kinetic information on protein folding and other biochemical processes, such as ligand binding and enzymatic reactions. Recent advances in mixer design and de...
متن کاملEarly events in RNA folding.
We describe a conceptual framework for understanding the way large RNA molecules fold based on the notion that their free-energy landscape is rugged. A key prediction of our theory is that RNA folding can be described by the kinetic partitioning mechanism (KPM). According to KPM a small fraction of molecules folds rapidly to the native state whereas the remaining fraction is kinetically trapped...
متن کاملFast events in protein folding initiated by nanosecond laser photolysis.
Initiation of protein folding by light can dramatically improve the time resolution of kinetic studies. Here we present an example of an optically triggered folding reaction by using nanosecond photodissociation of the heme-carbon monoxide complex of reduced cytochrome c. The optical trigger is based on the observation that under destabilizing conditions cytochrome c can be unfolded by preferen...
متن کاملInvestigating Protein Folding and Unfolding in Electrospray Nanodrops Upon Rapid Mixing Using Theta-Glass Emitters
Theta-glass emitters are used to rapidly mix two solutions to induce either protein folding or unfolding during nanoelectrospray (nanoESI). Mixing acid-denatured myoglobin with an aqueous ammonium acetate solution to increase solution pH results in protein folding during nanoESI. A reaction time and upper limit to the droplet lifetime of 9 ± 2 μs is obtained from the relative abundance of the f...
