Intrinsic disorder and protein function.
2 The dominant view of protein structure-function is that an amino acid sequence specifies a (mostly) fixed three-dimensional (3-D) structure that is a prerequisite to protein function. In contrast to the dominant view, many proteins display functions requiring the disordered state. Our purpose here is to provide a catalogue of disorder-function relationships. The very important molecular detai...
متن کاملDisorder guides protein function.
Cellular function requires biomolecules to undergo dynamic transitions that include folding, conformational rearrangements, and large-scale assembly. The result is a highly interdependent network of processes that is maintained by a balance of thermodynamic and kinetic factors. In molecular machines, each constituent biopolymer (i.e., a chain of residues) first folds to a lowenergy configuratio...
متن کاملAqueous two-phase systems for protein separation: phase separation and applications.
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) that are formed by mixing a polymer (usually polyethylene glycol, PEG) and a salt (e.g. phosphate, sulphate or citrate) or two polymers, and water can be effectively used for the separation and purification of proteins. The partitioning between both phases is dependent on the surface properties of the proteins and on the composition of the two phase system as ha...
متن کاملPhase Separation in Multicomponent Aqueous-Protein Solutions
published in Advance ACS Abstracts, December 1, 1994. 0022-3654/95/2099-0454$09.00/0 we present here the results of experimental and theoretical studies of a ternary solution constituted of the proteins yma (designated as protein A), a “high-Tc” protein, and yw (designated as protein B), a “low-Tc” protein, in aqueous solution. The solution pH was kept constant at 7.1 by a 100 mM phosphate buff...
متن کاملSpinodal phase separation in liquid films with quenched disorder.
We study spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films on chemically disordered substrates via simulations of the thin-film equation. The disorder is characterized by immobile patches of varying size and Hamaker constant. The effect of disorder is pronounced in the early stages (amplification of fluctuations), remains during the intermediate stages and vanishes in the late stages (dom...
