Protein folding: matching theory and experiment.
The impact of folding funnels and folding simulations on the way experimentalists interpret results is examined. The image of the transition state has changed from a unique species that has a strained configuration, with a correspondingly high free energy, to a more ordinary folding intermediate, whose balance between limited conformational entropy and stabilizing contacts places it at the top ...
متن کاملSpecific protein-lipid interactions in membrane proteins.
Many membrane proteins selectively bind defined lipid species. This specificity has an impact on correct insertion, folding, structural integrity and full functionality of the protein. How are these different tasks achieved? Recent advances in structural research of membrane proteins provide new information about specific protein-lipid interactions. Tightly bound lipids in membrane protein stru...

In each case the complexes were suspended in 20rn~-Tris/HCl (pH 8.0)/0.1% LDAO (v/v). The circles indicate where the recording spectrophotometer stopped and the spectra were continued point by point in another machine. (a) Complexes from strain 7750 grown at 2000k: 0, type 1 B800-850; 0, RC-B880. (b) Complexes from strain 7050 grown at 4001~: 0, type 2 B800-850; this spectrum was raised to make...
متن کاملThe fundamentals of protein folding: bringing together theory and experiment.
Experimental and theoretical studies together are providing insights into the mechanism by which proteins fold. Our present knowledge of the essential aspects of the folding reaction is outlined and some approaches, both theoretical and experimental, that are being developed to obtain a more detailed understanding of this complex process are described.
متن کاملTheory of protein folding.
Protein folding should be complex. Proteins organize themselves into specific three-dimensional structures, through a myriad of conformational changes. The classical view of protein folding describes this process as a nearly sequential series of discrete intermediates. In contrast, the energy landscape theory of folding considers folding as the progressive organization of an ensemble of partial...
