Modeling Biological Macromolecules in Solution
The use of the general (tri-axial) ellipsoid as a model for the conformation of biological macromolecules in solution is discussed. The recent derivation of an expression for the viscosity increment of dispersions of tri-axial ellipsoids [S. E. Harding et al. (1979) IRCS Med. Sci. 7,33; and (1981) J. Colloid Interface Sci. 79,7-131 makes the fitting of such a model possible by the derivation of...
متن کاملPotential flow of a second-order fluid over a tri-axial ellipsoid
The problem of potential flow of a second-order fluid around an ellipsoid is solved, following general expressions in Lamb (1993), and the flow and stress fields are computed. The flow fields are determined by the harmonic potential but the stress fields depend on viscosity and the parameters of the second-order fluid. The stress fields on the surface of a tri-axial ellipsoid depend strongly on...
متن کاملTri-axial ellipsoids as models for macromolecules in solution: procedures for numerical inversion of the shape functions leading to a stable unique solution.
Two FORTRAN IV algorithms are given for determining the two axial ratios of a macromolecule (as modelled by a tri-axial ellipsoid) from its hydrodynamic parameters. The first involves a simple graphical inversion procedure of the volume independent V and R functions but can only be applied to a restricted range of macromolecules. The second algorithm is more general and involves an R-function c...
متن کاملStructure Determination of Biological Macromolecules in Solution Using NMR spectroscopy
A detailed understanding of the function of a biological macromolecule requires knowledge of its three-dimensional structure. Most atomic-resolution structures of biological macromolecules have been solved either by x-ray diffraction in single crystals or by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in solution. This review surveys the method of NMR structure determination. First a brief introduction to...
متن کاملSmall-angle scattering studies of biological macromolecules in solution
Small-angle scattering (SAS) of x-rays and neutrons is a fundamental tool in the study of biological macromolecules. The major advantage of the method lies in its ability to provide structural information about partially or completely disordered systems. SAS allows one to study the structure of native particles in near physiological environments and to analyse structural changes in response to ...
