Visualizing Functional Motions of Membrane Transporters with Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Computational modeling and molecular simulation techniques have become an integral part of modern molecular research. Various areas of molecular sciences continue to benefit from, indeed rely on, the unparalleled spatial and temporal resolutions offered by these technologies, to provide a more complete picture of the molecular problems at hand. Because of the continuous development of more effi...
متن کاملDetermination of functional collective motions in a protein at atomic resolution using coherent neutron scattering
Protein function often depends on global, collective internal motions. However, the simultaneous quantitative experimental determination of the forms, amplitudes, and time scales of these motions has remained elusive. We demonstrate that a complete description of these large-scale dynamic modes can be obtained using coherent neutron-scattering experiments on perdeuterated samples. With this app...
متن کاملVisualizing nanoparticle mobility in liquid at atomic resolution.
Gold nanorods are widely known for their photothermal properties to treat solid tumors. Our work demonstrates the unrealized capacity to image these reagents in liquid at high resolution using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Here we perform the first atomic measurements of functionalized nanorods in solution while visualizing their dynamic behaviour with TEM.
متن کاملThe Ribosome at Atomic Resolution
The 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Venki Ramakrishnan, Tom Steitz, and Ada Yonath for crystallographic studies of the ribosome. The atomic resolution structures of the ribosomal subunits provide an extraordinary context for understanding one of the most fundamental aspects of cellular function: protein synthesis.
متن کاملVisualizing the Photosynthetic Membrane Proteins in Situ: Atomic Force Microscopy.
The photosynthetic membrane is the microscopic powerhouse of our biosphere. It transforms the sun’s energy into the energy of universal biological fuel, ATP and NADPH (light reactions) that is used for the synthesis of Glc from CO2 (dark reactions). Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that enabled the explosive diversity of heterotrophic organisms on our planet, oxidizes water in order to driv...
