'Morphs' (MRFs): metal-reversible folding domains for differential IgG binding.
BACKGROUND Selective recognition and binding of IgG molecules is the basis for a host of immunological and affinity purification techniques. Capture of an IgG in these procedures relies chiefly on its interaction with one of a variety of reengineered bacterial receptors which bind to the Fc region of IgG molecules with very high affinity. While this interaction is extremely efficient in trappin...
متن کاملFolding for binding or binding for folding?
A number of proteins are (partially) unstructured at physiological conditions and assume a well-defined three-dimensional structure only upon binding to another protein or macromolecular complex. Numerous examples have been found especially among proteins involved in regulatory functions in eukaryotic cells. Recent computer simulations by Verkhivker et al. have yielded an atomic detail picture ...
متن کاملReversible Folding of Rhodanese
For the first time completely reversible unfolding was achieved for guanidinium chloride-denatured rhodanese using a systematically defined protocol. These conditions included fl-mercaptoethanol, lauryl maltoside, and sodium thiosulfate. All components were required to get more than the previous best reactivation with lauryl maltoside of 17% (Tandon, S., and Horowitz, P. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 2...
متن کاملMetal ion binding and the folding of the hairpin ribozyme.
The hairpin ribozyme comprises two formally unpaired loops carried on two arms of a four-way helical RNA junction. Addition of divalent metal ions brings about a conformational transition into an antiparallel structure in which there is an intimate association between the loops to generate the active form of the ribozyme. In this study, we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer to ana...
متن کاملReversible metal-free carbon dioxide binding by frustrated Lewis pairs.
Carbon dioxide is a gas that is changing our environment. Its role as a greenhouse gas is clear with the onset of global warming. In efforts to address this issue, ambitious and creative schemes are targeting materials including zeolites, silica gels, aluminas, and activated carbons, as well as sophisticated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for the benign capture and storage of carbon dioxide. A...
