Nonexponential protein relaxation: dynamics of conformational change in myoglobin.
The picosecond evolution of the tertiary conformation of myoglobin (Mb) after photodissociation of MbCO was investigated at room temperature by probing band III, a weak iron-porphyrin charge-transfer transition near 13,110 cm-1 (763 nm) that is sensitive to the out-of-plane displacement of the iron. Upon photolysis, the iron moves out of the plane of the porphyrin, causing a blue-shift of band ...
متن کاملConformational Change in the Chromatin Remodelling Protein MENT
Chromatin condensation to heterochromatin is a mechanism essential for widespread suppression of gene transcription, and the means by which a chromatin-associated protein, MENT, induces a terminally differentiated state in cells. MENT, a protease inhibitor of the serpin superfamily, is able to undergo conformational change in order to effect enzyme inhibition. Here, we sought to investigate whe...
متن کاملMolten globules, entropy-driven conformational change and protein folding.
The exquisite side chain close-packing in the protein core and at binding interfaces has prompted a conviction that packing selectivity is the primary mechanism for molecular recognition in folding and/or binding reactions. Contrary to this view, molten globule proteins can adopt native topology and bind targets tightly and specifically in the absence of side chain close-packing. The molten glo...
متن کاملA fluorescent probe designed for studying protein conformational change.
The usefulness of fluorescence in studying protein motions derives from its sensitivity, kinetic resolution, and compatibility with both live cells and physiological assays. Recent advances in microscopy and membrane protein purification have permitted the observation of fluorescence changes that accompany the functional transitions of complex eukaryotic membrane proteins. These techniques rely...
متن کاملEarly amyloid β-protein aggregation precedes conformational change.
The aggregation of amyloid-β protein (1-42) is studied at experimental concentrations using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. We observe a fast aggregation into oligomers without significant changes in the internal structure of individual proteins. The aggregation process is characterized in terms of transition networks.
