Isothermal titration calorimetry of ion-coupled membrane transporters
Binding of ligands, ranging from proteins to ions, to membrane proteins is associated with absorption or release of heat that can be detected by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Such measurements not only provide binding affinities but also afford direct access to thermodynamic parameters of binding--enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity. These parameters can be interpreted in a structural...
متن کاملTensor-Based Morphometry Reveals Volumetric Deficits in Moderate=Severe Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause widespread and prolonged brain degeneration. TBI can affect cognitive function and brain integrity for many years after injury, often with lasting effects in children, whose brains are still immature. Although TBI varies in how it affects different individuals, image analysis methods such as tensor-based morphometry (TBM) can reveal common areas of brain a...
متن کاملSpecific Ion Binding at Phospholipid Membrane Surfaces.
Metal cations are ubiquitous components in biological environments and play an important role in regulating cellular functions and membrane properties. By applying metadynamics simulations, we have performed systematic free energy calculations of Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+), and Mg(2+) bound to phospholipid membrane surfaces for the first time. The free energy landscapes unveil specific binding behavio...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction of cytoplasmic membrane networks in parietal cells.
There is general agreement that stimulation and consequent secretion of gastric parietal cells result in a great expansion of the apical canalicular membrane at the expense of an extensive intracellular network of membranes rich in the gastric proton pump (H,K-ATPase). However, there is ongoing controversy as to the precise nature of the intracellular membrane network, conventionally called tub...
متن کاملIon transporters in the nucleus?
The nucleus of eukaryotic cells is bounded by a double membrane system perforated by the nuclear pores, which provide an aqueous channel for bidirectional transport of ions and molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm (Smith and Raikhel, 1999). The presence of these large pores, which have an average open diameter of approximately 10 nm, has tended to divert attention from the possible i...
