Structural Stability of Hybrid Systems
We study hybrid systems from a global geometric perspective as piecewise smooth dynamical systems. Based on an earlier work, we define the notion of the hybrifold as a single piecewise smooth state space reflecting the dynamics of the original system. Structural stability for hybrid systems is introduced and analyzed in this framework. In particular, it is shown that a Zeno state is locally str...
متن کاملStructural Characteristics of Stable Folding Intermediates of Yeast Iso-1-Cytochrome-c
Cytochrome-c (cyt-c) is an electron transport protein, and it is present throughout the evolution. More than 280 sequences have been reported in the protein sequence database (www.uniprot.org). Though sequentially diverse, cyt-c has essentially retained its tertiary structure or fold. Thus a vast data set of varied sequences with retention of similar structure and fun...
متن کاملStructural transformation of cytochrome c and apo cytochrome c induced by sulfonated polystyrene.
The structural transformation of cytochrome c (cyt c) and its heme-free precursor, apo cyt c, induced by negatively charged sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) with different charge density (degree of sulfonation) and chain length was studied to understand the factors that influence the folding and unfolding of the protein. SPS forms stable transparent nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The hydrophobi...
متن کاملInterspecies Variation in the Functional Consequences of Mutation of Cytochrome c
The naturally occurring human cytochrome c variant (G41S) is associated with a mild autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia (Thrombocytopenia Cargeeg) caused by dysregulation of platelet production. The molecular basis of the platelet production defect is unknown. Despite high conservation of cytochrome c between human and mouse (91.4% identity), introducing the G41S mutation into mouse cytochrome ...
متن کاملThe redox couple of the cytochrome c cyanide complex: the contribution of heme iron ligation to the structural stability, chemical reactivity, and physiological behavior of horse cytochrome c.
Contrary to most heme proteins, ferrous cytochrome c does not bind ligands such as cyanide and CO. In order to quantify this observation, the redox potential of the ferric/ferrous cytochrome c-cyanide redox couple was determined for the first time by cyclic voltammetry. Its E0' was -240 mV versus SHE, equivalent to -23.2 kJ/mol. The entropy of reaction for the reduction of the cyanide complex w...
