Environment Polarity in Proteins Mapped Noninvasively by FTIR Spectroscopy.
The polarity pattern of a macromolecule is of utmost importance to its structure and function. For example, one of the main driving forces for protein folding is the burial of hydrophobic residues. Yet polarity remains a difficult property to measure experimentally, due in part to its non-uniformity in the protein interior. Herein, we show that FTIR linewidth analysis of noninvasive 1-(13)C=(18...
متن کاملProteins in action monitored by time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy.
In the post genome era proteins coming into the focus of life sciences. X-ray structure analysis and NMR spectroscopy are established methods to determine the geometry of proteins. In order to determine the molecular reaction mechanism of proteins, time-resolved FTIR (trFTIR) difference spectroscopy emerges as a valuable tool. In this Minireview we describe the trFTIR difference spectroscopy an...
متن کاملProteins in Action: Monitored by tr(time-resolved) FTIR spectroscopy
In the Postgenom era one of the remaining major challenges is the detailed understanding of protein networks within the living cell. Currently, there is a large gap between the detailed understanding of proteins in vitro and their description in interaction pathway maps in systems biology. In order to contribute to a more detailed understanding of protein interactions a combined approach of x-r...
متن کاملFTIR-Spectroscopy of multistranded coiled coil proteins.
Coiled coils of different order were investigated using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Recently, we demonstrated that dimeric coiled coils display unique vibrational spectra with at least three separable bands instead of only one band of a classical alpha-helix in the amide I region. This was attributed to a distortion of the helical structure by the supercoil bending, giving rise to bands that ar...
متن کاملSurface-Attached Polyhistidine-Tag Proteins Characterized by FTIR Difference Spectroscopy
A universal label-free method for the spectroscopic investigation of polyhistidine-tagged proteins is presented. A solid supported lipid bilayer (SSLB, picture) containing nitrilotriacetic-acid-modified lipids is attached on top of a germanium attenuated total reflection crystal by hydrophilic interactions. Any His tag-modified protein can be immobilized and investigated by FTIR spectroscopy.
