Current perspectives on RNA secondary structure probing
The range of roles played by structured RNAs in biological systems is vast. At the same time as we are learning more about the importance of RNA structure, recent advances in reagents, methods and technology mean that RNA secondary structural probing has become faster and more accurate. As a result, the capabilities of laboratories that already perform this type of structural analysis have incr...
متن کاملStructure and function of the visual arrestin oligomer.
A distinguishing feature of rod arrestin is its ability to form oligomers at physiological concentrations. Using visible light scattering, we show that rod arrestin forms tetramers in a cooperative manner in solution. To investigate the structure of the tetramer, a nitroxide side chain (R1) was introduced at 18 different positions. The effects of R1 on oligomer formation, EPR spectra, and inter...
متن کاملA Study on The Effect of Temperature on Human Prion Protein Structure through Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Background & Aims: The normal form of the prion protein is called PrPC and its infectious form is called PrPSc. This protein functions like a crystallized core for the transformation of PrPc into an abnormal PrPSc. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of temperature on human prion protein structure through molecular dynamic simulation. Methods: In this research, the GROMAC...
متن کاملProbing the secondary structure of a recombinant neuronal adaptor protein and its phosphotyrosine binding domains.
Rat brain Fe65 and its truncated forms corresponding to the combined PTB1 and PTB2 domains, as well as to the isolated PTB2 domain, were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified from inclusion bodies by affinity chromatography. The recombinant proteins were refolded and judged functionally active by their ability to interact with native APP. Limited proteolysis of recombinant Fe65 and PTB1-2 ...
متن کاملProtein Secondary Structure Classifiers Fusion Using OWA
The combination of classifiers has been proposed as a method to improve the accuracy achieved by a single classifier. In this study, the performances of optimistic and pessimistic ordered weighted averaging operators for protein secondary structure classifiers fusion have been investigated. Each secondary structure classifier outputs a unique structure for each input residue. We used confusion ...
