متن کاملMembrane localization and flexibility of a lipidated ras peptide studied by molecular dynamics simulations.
Lipid-modified membrane-binding proteins are essential in signal transduction events of the cell, a typical example being the GTPase ras. Recently, membrane binding of a doubly lipid-modified heptapeptide from the C-terminus of the human N-ras protein was studied by spectroscopic techniques. It was found that membrane binding is mainly due to lipid chain insertion, but it is also favored by int...
متن کاملRheological Properties and Solvent Structure of Polysaccharide Hydrogels Studied by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
One important class of hydrogels based on natural polymers is the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-based hydrogels. In hydrogels biomaterial science, the mathematical modeling and computer simulation plays a complementary interpretative role in deciphering the complex physical/chemical and biological properties of this class of substances. Aim: the molecular modeling studies presented here aimed the inf...
متن کاملFlexibility of ras lipid modifications studied by 2H solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics simulations.
Human posttranslationally modified N-ras oncogenes are known to be implicated in numerous human cancers. Here, we applied a combination of experimental and computational techniques to determine structural and dynamical details of the lipid chain modifications of an N-ras heptapeptide in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) membranes. Experimentally, 2H NMR spectroscopy was used to...
متن کاملStructural determinants of MscL gating studied by molecular dynamics simulations.
The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) in prokaryotes plays a crucial role in exocytosis as well as in the response to osmotic downshock. The channel can be gated by tension in the membrane bilayer. The determination of functionally important residues in MscL, patch-clamp studies of pressure-conductance relationships, and the recently elucidated crystal structure of MscL from ...
