Protein folding: Does diffusion determine the folding rate?

A major question about protein folding is whether the coming together by diffusion of different segments of the polypeptide chain is rate-determining. This seemingly simple question has been very difficult to answer experimentally, but a positive result has now been obtained with one small model protein.

Does stoichiometry drive protein folding?

Proteins are synthesized in the cell as sequential strings of amino acids. However, ribosome-emerging polypeptide chains are not active and they have to fold into a usually unique three-dimensional (3D) structure to become functional. Many proteins have been shown to attain spontaneously in vitro their native state from an initially complex ensemble of unfolded conformations in the absence of t...

Determine folding mechanism of Lali structure, northern Dezful, Zagros, Iran

     Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...

Does native state topology determine the RNA folding mechanism?

Recent studies in protein folding suggest that native state topology plays a dominant role in determining the folding mechanism, yet an analogous statement has not been made for RNA, most likely due to the strong coupling between the ionic environment and conformational energetics that make RNA folding more complex than protein folding. Applying a distributed computing architecture to sample ne...

Coordinate-dependent diffusion in protein folding.

Diffusion on a low-dimensional free-energy surface is a remarkably successful model for the folding dynamics of small single-domain proteins. Complicating the interpretation of both simulations and experiments is the expectation that the effective diffusion coefficient D will in general depend on the position along the folding coordinate, and this dependence may vary for different coordinates. ...
