The Conformation of Bilin Chromophores in Biliproteins: Ramachandran-Type Calculations
Bilin Conformation, Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, Phytochrome Ramachandran-type calculations are performed for conformations of bilin chromophores pres ent in the biliproteins phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and phytochrome. The atomic coordinates are taken from x-ray data of crystalline model compounds, namely biliverdin for pyrrole rings B, C, D and substituted succinimides for the hydrogenated rin...
متن کاملMonitoring Protein Conformation along the Pathway of Chaperonin-Assisted Folding
The GroEL/GroES chaperonin system mediates protein folding in the bacterial cytosol. Newly synthesized proteins reach GroEL via transfer from upstream chaperones such as DnaK/DnaJ (Hsp70). Here we employed single molecule and ensemble FRET to monitor the conformational transitions of a model substrate as it proceeds along this chaperone pathway. We find that DnaK/DnaJ stabilizes the protein in ...
متن کاملMonitoring fluorescence of individual chromophores in peridinin-chlorophyll-protein complex using single molecule spectroscopy.
Single molecule spectroscopy experiments are reported for native peridinin-chlorophyll a-protein (PCP) complexes, and three reconstituted light-harvesting systems, where an N-terminal construct of native PCP from Amphidinium carterae has been reconstituted with chlorophyll (Chl) mixtures: with Chl a, with Chl b and with both Chl a and Chl b. Using laser excitation into peridinin (Per) absorptio...

متن کاملCharacterizing protein conformation space
In this work, we propose a radical approach for exploring the space of all possible protein structures. We present techniques to explore the clash-free conformation space, which comprises all protein structures whose atoms are not in selfcollision. Unlike energy based methods, this approach allows efficient exploration and remains general – the benefits of characterization of the space apply to...
