Comparing 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...
متن کاملMeasurement of Circular Dichroism Dynamics in a Temperature Jump Experiment for the Study of Protein Folding
The question how proteins fold into their specific three-dimentional structures provides anexciting challenge for biophysicists nowadays. The use of a fast temperature-jump is a verypowerful technique for the study of the denaturation process of proteins. However, probingthe secondary structure is a difficult challenge and rarely yields quantitative values. The main purpose of this ...
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 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 کاملFast, Approximate Kinetics of RNA Folding
In this article, we introduce the software suite Hermes, which provides fast, novel algorithms for RNA secondary structure kinetics. Using the fast Fourier transform to efficiently compute the Boltzmann probability that a secondary structure S of a given RNA sequence has base pair distance x (resp. y) from reference structure A (resp. B), Hermes computes the exact kinetics of folding from A to ...
