Nucleosome conformation: pH and organic solvent effects.
Monomer nucleosomes (nu 1) from chicken erythrocyte nuclei were examined in aqueous buffers (8 greater than pH greater than 3) and in solvent mixtures (i.e., water and ethanol, ethylene glycol, dioxane, dimethyl sulfoxide, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, polyethylene glycol, sucrose, or urea). Circular dichroism, laser Raman spectroscopy of nu 1, and the fluorescence of nu 1 labeled with N-(3-pyrene)...
متن کاملStructural Effects of pH and Deacylation on Surfactant Protein C in an Organic Solvent Mixture: A Constant-pH MD Study
The pulmonary surfactant protein C (SP-C) is a small highly hydrophobic protein that adopts a mainly helical structure while associated with the membrane but misfolds into a β-rich metastable structure upon deacylation, membrane dissociation, and exposure to the neutral pH of the aqueous alveolar subphase, eventually leading to the formation of amyloid aggregates associated with pulmonary alveo...
متن کاملOrganic Solvent Effects in Biomass Conversion Reactions.
Transforming lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals has been intensely studied in recent years. A large amount of work has been dedicated to finding suitable solvent systems, which can improve the transformation of biomass into value-added chemicals. These efforts have been undertaken based on numerous research results that have shown that organic solvents can improve both conversion ...
متن کاملSolvent Modulation of Polysacharide Conformation
Polymers are widely used in solution to provide structure and function, e.g., viscoelasticity, colloidal stability, and delivery of actives. Underlying these functions are interand intra-molecular interactions that are modulated by the solvent used. Solvents can have a great impact on polymer conformation [Alexandridis and Yang, 2000]. A solvent may enable the dissolution of a certain polymer o...
متن کاملChanging chromatin fiber conformation by nucleosome repositioning.
Chromatin conformation is dynamic and heterogeneous with respect to nucleosome positions, which can be changed by chromatin remodeling complexes in the cell. These molecular machines hydrolyze ATP to translocate or evict nucleosomes, and establish loci with regularly and more irregularly spaced nucleosomes as well as nucleosome-depleted regions. The impact of nucleosome repositioning on the thr...
