Rational design of a calcium-binding protein.
Calcium ions play key roles as structural components in biomineralization and as a second messenger in signaling pathways. We have introduced a de novo designed calcium-binding site into the framework of a non-calcium-binding protein, domain 1 of CD2. The resulting protein selectively binds calcium over magnesium with calcium-binding affinity comparable to that of natural extracellular calcium-...
متن کاملDesign of a zinc finger protein binding a sequence upstream of the A20 gene
BACKGROUND Artificial transcription factors (ATFs) are composed of DNA-binding and functional domains. These domains can be fused together to create proteins that can bind a chosen DNA sequence. To construct a valid ATF, it is necessary to design suitable DNA-binding and functional domains. The Cys2-His2 zinc finger motif is the ideal structural scaffold on which to construct a sequence-specifi...
متن کاملOptical Studies in Magnesium Phthalocyanine, Iron Phthalocyanine and Zinc Phthalocyanine Thin Films
Spectral studies of metal phthalocyanines are invaluable in the understanding of the electronic processes in phthalocyanines. The electronic overlap between the centrally substituted metal ion and the phthalocyanine ring can be observed from charge transfer (CT) transition between the central metal ion and the phthalocyanine ligand and point to extensive coupling between the two electronic syst...
متن کاملRational design of DNA sequence-specific zinc fingers.
We developed a rational scheme for designing DNA binding proteins. The scheme was applied for a zinc finger protein and the designed sequences were experimentally characterized with high DNA sequence specificity. Starting with the backbone of a known finger structure, we initially calculated amino acid sequences compatible with the expected structure and the secondary structures of the designed...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
