Folding of polypeptide chains in proteins: a proposed mechanism for folding.
A mechanism is proposed for the folding of protein chains. On the basis of short-range interactions, certain aminoacid sequences have a high propensity to be, say, alpha-helical. However, these short helical (or other ordered) regions can be stabilized only by long-range interactions arising from the proximity of two such ordered regions. These regions are brought near each other by the directi...
متن کاملOsmolyte-Induced Folding and Stability of Proteins: Concepts and Characterization
It is well-known that the typical protein’s three-dimensional structure is relatively unstable in harsh conditions. A practical approach to maintain the folded state and thus improve the stability and activity of proteins in unusual circumstances is to directly apply stabilizing substances such as osmolytes to the protein-containing solutions. Osmolytes as natural occurring organic molecules ty...

متن کاملFolding Mechanism of Small Proteins
Extensive Monte Carlo folding simulations for four proteins of various structural classes are carried out, using a single atomistic potential. In all cases, collapse occurs at a very early stage, and proteins fold into their native-like conformations at appropriate temperatures. The results demonstrate that the folding mechanism is controlled not only by thermodynamic factors but also by kineti...
متن کاملViewing folding of nascent polypeptide chains from ribosomes.
Regulation of gene expression occurs at multiple stages and ultimately determines the protein levels in cells. The last decade has witnessed impressive progress in the development of approaches to measuring changes in cellular transcription and protein complement. However, techniques monitoring protein synthesis have lagged far behind. Current proteomic studies gauge the steady state levels of ...
