Structure-based substitutions for increased solubility of a designed protein.
Manipulation of protein solubility is important for many aspects of protein design and engineering. Previously, we designed a series of consensus ankyrin repeat proteins containing one, two, three and four identical repeats (1ANK, 2ANK, 3ANK and 4ANK). These proteins, particularly 4ANK, are intended for use as a universal scaffold on which specific binding sites can be constructed. Despite bein...
متن کاملA simple in vivo assay for increased protein solubility.
Low solubility is a major stumbling block in the detailed structural and functional characterization of many proteins and isolated protein domains. The production of some proteins in a soluble form may only be possible through alteration of their sequences by mutagenesis. The feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated in a number of cases where amino acid substitutions were shown to inc...
متن کاملIncreased solubility of molecular hydrogen in UV-exposed germanosilicate fibers.
Spectral properties of photoinduced fiber Bragg gratings written in germanosilicate fibers and subjected to hydrogen loading at a pressure of 150-170 MPa have been studied. It was observed, for the first time to our knowledge, that hydrogen dissolution in the glass network at such high pressures leads not only to a Bragg wavelength shift but also to a considerable alteration of the grating refl...
متن کاملIncreased Solubility and Stability of Curcumin in Lactic Acid
The solubility and the stability of curcumin increases to a significant extent in the solution containing lactic acid. There was two fold increase in the solubility in 60% lactic acid at a pH 7.0 and twenty fold increase at pH 1.5 when compared to aqueous solution at pH 7.0. Almost similar increase in half life was observed. The (t1/2) of aqueous solution, at pH 7.0, was 5.7 hr., In the presenc...
متن کاملCollagen solubility correlates with skin optical clearing.
Biomedical optics and photomedicine applications are challenged by the turbidity of most biological tissue systems. Nonreactive, biocompatible chemical agents can induce a reversible reduction in optical scattering of collagenous tissues such as human skin. Herein we show that a chemical agent's tissue optical clearing potential is directly related to its collagen solubility, providing a ration...
