Amphiphilic secondary structure: design of peptide hormones.

Peptide synthesis can be used for elucidating the roles of secondary structures in the specificity of hormones, antigens, and toxins. Intermediate sized peptides with these activities assume amphiphilic secondary structures in the presence of membranes. When models are designed to optimize the amphiphilicity of the secondary structure, stronger interactions can be observed with the synthetic pe...

Secondary structure of the immunoglobulin J chain.

J chain is a 137-residue polypeptide that is covalently linked to polymeric immunoglobulins and participates in their synthesis and transport to external secretions. To clarify these roles, the secondary structure of J chain was characterized by computer-assisted analyses of human and mouse sequences and by circular dichroism measurements of the isolated J chain. The secondary-structure profile...

Structure of bacteriorhodopsin at 1.55 A resolution.

Th?e atomic structure of the light-driven ion pump bacteriorhodopsin and the surrounding lipid matrix was determined by X-ray diffraction of crystals grown in cubic lipid phase. In the extracellular region, an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of protein residues and seven water molecules leads from the buried retinal Schiff base and the proton acceptor Asp85 to the membrane s...

Packing of transmembrane helices in bacteriorhodopsin folding: structure and thermodynamics.

We propose a coarse-grained (CG) model to study the native structure and physical properties of helical membrane proteins (HMPs) using off-lattice computer simulations. Instead of considering sequence heterogeneity explicitly, we model its effect on the packing of helices by employing a mean packing parameter r(0), which is calculated from an all-atom (AA) model. Specifically, this CG model is ...

Cation binding sites on the projected structure of bacteriorhodopsin.

Divalent cations are involved in the function of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) as a light-driven proton pump. If cations are removed from purple membranes they become blue. Divalent cations such as Ca2+ or Pb2+ or trivalent ions, can be stoichiometrically titrated back on to these deionized membranes. The color transitions as a function of ion concentration for Ca2+ or Pb2+ are precisely comparable an...
