Mapping fast protein folding with multiple-site fluorescent probes.
Fast protein folding involves complex dynamics in many degrees of freedom, yet microsecond folding experiments provide only low-resolution structural information. We enhance the structural resolution of the five-helix bundle protein λ6-85 by engineering into it three fluorescent tryptophan-tyrosine contact probes. The probes report on distances between three different helix pairs: 1-2, 1-3, and...
متن کاملProtein folding rates correlate with heterogeneity of folding mechanism.
By observing trends in the folding kinetics of experimental 2-state proteins at their transition midpoints, and by observing trends in the barrier heights of numerous simulations of coarse-grained, C(alpha) model Go proteins, we show that folding rates correlate with the degree of heterogeneity in the formation of native contacts. Statistically significant correlations are observed between fold...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional vibrational optical probes for peptide fast folding investigation.
A simulation study shows that early protein folding events may be investigated by using a recently developed family of nonlinear infrared techniques that combine the high temporal and spatial resolution of multidimensional spectroscopy with the chirality-specific sensitivity of amide vibrations to structure. We demonstrate how the structural sensitivity of cross-peaks in two-dimensional correla...
متن کاملDetermine folding mechanism of Lali structure, northern Dezful, Zagros, Iran
Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...
متن کاملAnalysis of protein folding using polarity-sensitive fluorescent probes
Polarity-sensitive fluorescent probes like 8-anilino-1naphthalenesulphonate (ANS) and 1,1′-bis(4-anilino5-naphthalenesulphonic acid (bis-ANS) have been frequently used to detect equilibrium folding intermediates like the molten globule state, as the formation of the latter involves increase in hydrophobic exposure. The ability of these fluorescent probes to bind to the intermediate state thus p...
