-cytochrome c variants: Comparison with solvent denaturation
Thermal denaturation studies as a function of pH were carried out on wild-type iso-I-cytochrome c and three variants of this protein at the solvent-exposed position 73 of the sequence. By examining the enthalpy and T, at various pH values, the heat capacity increment (AC,,), which is dominated by the degree of change in nonpolar hydration upon protein unfolding, was found for the wild type wher...
متن کاملDenaturation and renaturation of self-assembled yeast iso-1-cytochrome c on Au.
We have made surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c (Cyt c) on a gold surface. Angle-resolved SPR curves are recorded as a function of urea concentration before and after self-assembly of the Cyt c. Exposure to a urea solution causes denaturation of Cyt c, which shifts the minimum in the SPR curve to a larger angle and decreases the signal amplitude. The Gibbs ...
متن کاملThermal denaturation of A-DNA
The DNA molecule can take various conformational forms. Investigations focus mainly on the so-called ‘B-form’, schematically drawn in the famous paper by Watson and Crick [1]. This is the usual form of DNA in a biological environment and is the only form that is stable in an aqueous environment. Other forms, however, can teach us much about DNA. They have the same nucleotide base pairs for ‘bui...
متن کاملFTIR study of the thermal denaturation of horseradish and cytochrome c peroxidases in D2O.
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to examine the thermal denaturation of the Fe(III), Fe(II), and Fe(II)-CO forms of cytochrome c peroxidase and horseradish peroxidase in phosphate buffer at pD 7.0. The amide I' regions of the deconvolved spectra are consistent with predominantly alpha-helical secondary structure around room temperature, but the alpha-helical absorptio...
متن کاملKinetic studies on thermal denaturation of C-phycocyanin.
The kinetics of thermal denaturation of a biliprotein, C-phycocyanin (C-PC) isolated from Spirulina platensis were studied at different pH values, ranging from 4.0 to 8.0. The denaturation of C-PC follows the first order kinetics and rate constant at pH 5.0 and temperature 55 degrees C is found to be 4.37 x 10(-5) s(-1), which increases to 5.46 x 10(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.0. The denaturation rate is...
