Quantum Chemical and Statistical-thermodynamic Studies of Equilibria and Rates
A review of the main results from our laboratory for the period 1969—1982 is presented. In the introductory part, allowed and forbidden processes are discussed from the point of view of constants of motion. Specific suggestions are presented as to how to make forbidden processes allowed. In addition to energy forbiddeness, entropy forbiddeness is also mentioned. In the section on equilibria att...
متن کاملSpectrin tetramer-dimer equilibrium in hereditary elliptocytosis.
The proportion of spectrin tetramers and dimers in 4 degrees C low ionic strength extracts of red cell membranes of 9 subjects with 4 different variants of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) and 2 subjects with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) was determined by nondenaturing gel electrophoresis. Such extracts reflect the native oligomeric state of spectrin in the red cell membrane. In two hemolytic HE...
متن کاملThermodynamic studies on the oxygenation and subunit association of human hemoglobin. Temperature dependence of the linkage between dimer-tetramer association and oxygenation state.
The linkage between oxygen binding and dimer-tetramer association in human hemoglobin has been studied as a function of temperature between 6 and 37°C in 0.1 M Tris, 0.1 M chloride, at pH 7.40. Oxygen binding curves were determined at each temperature at a series of protein concentrations, and the data were analyzed according to an equation describing the overall process in terms of thermodynam...
متن کاملSingle residue modification of only one dimer within the hemoglobin tetramer reveals autonomous dimer function.
The mechanism of cooperativity in the human hemoglobin tetramer (a dimer of alpha beta dimers) has historically been modeled as a simple two-state system in which a low-affinity structural form (T) switches, on ligation, to a high-affinity form (R), yielding a net loss of hydrogen bonds and salt bridges in the dimer-dimer interface. Modifications that weaken these cross-dimer contacts destabili...
متن کاملDimer-tetramer transition controls RUNX1/ETO leukemogenic activity.
RUNX1/ETO, the fusion protein resulting from the chromosomal translocation t(8;21), is one of the most frequent translocation products in acute myeloid leukemia. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the homo-tetramerization domain of ETO, the nervy homology region 2 (NHR2), is essential for RUNX1/ETO oncogenic activity. We analyzed the energetic contribution of individual amino ...
