Measurement 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 کاملNanosecond T-Jump Experiment in Poly(glutamic acid): A Circular Dichroism Study
Poly(glutamic acid) has been studied with a nanosecond T-jump experiment. A new experimental set-up based on the frequency-quadrupling of an 82 MHz Titanium-Sapphire laser allows rapid CD measurements to be performed. Combining time-resolved absorption and circular dichroism at 204 and 220 nm, we are able to measure precisely the unfolding relaxation time as well as the helical fraction evoluti...
متن کاملNanosecond temperature jump relaxation dynamics of cyclic beta-hairpin peptides.
The thermal unfolding of a series of 6-, 10-, and 14-mer cyclic beta-hairpin peptides was studied to gain insight into the mechanism of formation of this important secondary structure. The thermodynamics of the transition were characterized using temperature dependent Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Thermodynamic data were analyzed using a two-state model which indicates increasing coo...
متن کاملMicroscopic measurement of circular dichroism spectra.
A microscope device to measure the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of a specified microscopic region of chiral samples was constructed by combining of a couple of objective lenses and a CCD camera, which was installed in a sample chamber of a commercially available CD spectropolarimeter. By using this apparatus, high quality micro-CD spectra in the 60 x 60 microm region of samples could be meas...
متن کاملCircular dichroism studies at variable temperature: urobilinoid conformation.
Measurements of the temperature dependence of the circular dichroism spectra of l-stercobilin and d-urobilin show that the conformations of these optically-active urobilinoids change with temperature between 163 and 297 degrees K. These conformational changes depend critically on the hydrogen bonding characteristics of the solvent. Thus, in methanol-glycerol (9:1), the chiral sense of the helic...
