Motor-substrate interactions in mycoplasma motility explains non-Arrhenius temperature dependence.
Mycoplasmas exhibit a novel, substrate-dependent gliding motility that is driven by approximately 400 "leg" proteins. The legs interact with the substrate and transmit the forces generated by an assembly of ATPase motors. The velocity of the cell increases linearly by nearly 10-fold over a narrow temperature range of 10-40 degrees C. This corresponds to an Arrhenius factor that decreases from a...
متن کاملProtein folding kinetics exhibit an Arrhenius temperature dependence when corrected for the temperature dependence of protein stability.
The anomalous temperature dependence of protein folding has received considerable attention. Here we show that the temperature dependence of the folding of protein L becomes extremely simple when the effects of temperature on protein stability are corrected for; the logarithm of the folding rate is a linear function of 1/T on constant stability contours in the temperature-denaturant plane. This...
متن کاملTemperature, demography, and ectotherm fitness.
Temperature has profound effects on ectotherms such as plants, invertebrates, and lower vertebrates (Hochachka and Somero 1984; Cossins and Bowler 1987). The impact of temperature is often depicted graphically as a “thermal performance curve,” which plots performance as a function of body temperature (Huey and Stevenson 1979). Typically, performance increases gradually with temperature up to so...
متن کاملStrong non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the resistivity in the regime of traditional band transport
When a strong, though non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of electrical resistivity is observed, one usually concludes that the underlying mechanism is variable-range hopping. Unexpectedly, such observations are also made for many semiconductor systems at elevated temperatures, where a variable-range hopping mechanism seems unlikely. A satisfactory explanation for this observation is still lac...
متن کاملDoes the arrhenius temperature dependence of the Johari-Goldstein relaxation persist above T(g)?
Dielectric spectra of the polyalcohols sorbitol and xylitol were measured under isobaric pressures up to 1.8 GPa. At elevated pressure, the separation between the alpha and beta relaxation peaks is larger than at ambient pressure, enabling the beta relaxation times to be unambiguously determined. Taking advantage of this, we show that the Arrhenius temperature dependence of the beta relaxation ...
