A Study on The Effect of Temperature on Human Prion Protein Structure through Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Background & Aims: The normal form of the prion protein is called PrPC and its infectious form is called PrPSc. This protein functions like a crystallized core for the transformation of PrPc into an abnormal PrPSc. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of temperature on human prion protein structure through molecular dynamic simulation. Methods: In this research, the GROMAC...
متن کاملTrp zipper folding kinetics by molecular dynamics and temperature-jump spectroscopy.
We studied the microsecond folding dynamics of three beta hairpins (Trp zippers 1-3, TZ1-TZ3) by using temperature-jump fluorescence and atomistic molecular dynamics in implicit solvent. In addition, we studied TZ2 by using time-resolved IR spectroscopy. By using distributed computing, we obtained an aggregate simulation time of 22 ms. The simulations included 150, 212, and 48 folding events at...
متن کاملFolding intermediates of the prion protein stabilized by hydrostatic pressure and low temperature.
Prion diseases are associated with conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, into a misfolded form, PrPSc. We have investigated the equilibrium unfolding of the structured domain of recombinant murine prion protein, comprising residues 121-231 (mPrP-(121-231)). The equilibrium unfolding of mPrP-(121-231) by urea monitored by intrinsic fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of protein folding kinetics in living cells.
We measure the stability and folding rate of a mutant of the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) inside bone tissue cells as a function of temperature from 38 to 48 °C. To facilitate measurement in individual living cells, we developed a rapid laser temperature stepping method capable of measuring complete thermal melts and kinetic traces in about two min. We find that this method yields impro...
متن کاملComparing Fast Pressure Jump and Temperature Jump Protein Folding Experiments and Simulations.
The unimolecular folding reaction of small proteins is now amenable to a very direct mechanistic comparison between experiment and simulation. We present such a comparison of microsecond pressure and temperature jump refolding kinetics of the engineered WW domain FiP35, a model system for β-sheet folding. Both perturbations produce experimentally a faster and a slower kinetic phase, and the "sl...
