Kinetic evidence for a two-stage mechanism of protein denaturation by guanidinium chloride.
Dry molten globular (DMG) intermediates, an expanded form of the native protein with a dry core, have been observed during denaturant-induced unfolding of many proteins. These observations are counterintuitive because traditional models of chemical denaturation rely on changes in solvent-accessible surface area, and there is no notable change in solvent-accessible surface area during the format...
متن کاملInteractions between hydrophobic and ionic solutes in aqueous guanidinium chloride and urea solutions: lessons for protein denaturation mechanism.
In order to clarify the mechanism of denaturant-induced unfolding of proteins we have calculated the interactions between hydrophobic and ionic species in aqueous guanidinium chloride and urea solutions using molecular dynamics simulations. Hydrophobic association is not significantly changed in urea or guanidinium chloride solutions. The strength of interaction between ion pairs is greatly dim...
متن کاملMechanisms of amphipathic helical peptide denaturation by guanidinium chloride and urea: a molecular dynamics simulation study
Urea and GdmCl are widely used to denature proteins at high concentrations. Here, we used MD simulations to study the denaturation mechanisms of helical peptide in different concentrations of GdmCl and urea. It was found that the helical structure of the peptide in water simulation is disappeared after 5 ns while the helicity of the peptide is disappeared after 70 ns in 2 M urea and 25 ns in 1 ...
متن کاملProtein Denaturation with Guanidinium: A 2D-IR Study
Guanidinium (Gdm+) is a widely used denaturant, but it is still largely unknown how it operates at the molecular level. In particular, the effect of guanidinium on the different types of secondary structure motifs of proteins is at present not clear. Here, we use two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) to investigate changes in the secondary structure of two proteins with mainly α-helical...
متن کاملResistance of soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) to denaturation by guanidinium chloride.
Viscosity measurements in 6 M guanidinium chloride (Gdm.Cl) (pH 5.2, 25”) suggest that Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) undergoes a slow unfolding which requires over 2 weeks to reach completion. The reduced viscosity increased during this time from an initial value of 3.5 ml/g to a final value of 16 to 17 ml/g. At pH 7 and 25”, over 4 weeks were required to reach the same final state. Ge...
