Crystal structure of the sweet-tasting protein thaumatin II at 1.27Å.
Thaumatin, an intensely sweet-tasting protein, elicits a sweet taste sensation at 50 nM. Here the X-ray crystallographic structure of one of its variants, thaumatin II, was determined at a resolution of 1.27 Å. Overall structure of thaumatin II is similar to thaumatin I, but a slight shift of the Cα atom of G96 in thaumatin II was observed. Furthermore, the side chain of residue 67 in thaumatin...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Crystal Growth in Ferroelectric materials
We study the growth process of ferroelectric materials by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. An ionic model with long-range Coulomb interactions is used to model the relaxor single crystals. The growth is characterized by thermodynamic processes involving adsorption and evaporation, with solid-on-solid restrictions. An algorithm is developed in order to simulate growth under such a model, for whi...
متن کاملIn situ observation of antisite defect formation during crystal growth.
In situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to quantify antisite defect trapping during crystallization. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed a marked lattice distortion which involves an a axis expansion and a c axis contraction of the stable C11b phase. The observed lattice response is proportional in magnitude to the growth rate, su...
متن کاملStructures of three crystal forms of the sweet protein thaumatin.
Three crystal forms of the sweet-tasting protein thaumatin from the African berry Thaumatococcus daniellii have been grown. These include two naturally occurring isoforms, A and B, that differ by a single amino acid, and a recombinant form of isoform B expressed in yeast. The crystals are of space groups C2 with a = 117.7, b = 44.9, c = 38.0 A, and beta = 94.0 degrees, P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 44...
متن کاملA microstructural dry-snow metamorphism model for kinetic crystal growth
Historically, dry-snow metamorphism has been classified by the thermal environment and thermodynamic processes in a snowpack. Snow experiencing predominantly macroscopic isothermal conditions develops different microstructure than snow subjected to large temperature gradients. As such, much previous research has been categorized by and limited to specific thermal conditions. The current researc...
