چکیده
C216 also a potent inhibitor of (Zn/Zn)bLAP. This combined approach provided insights on interaction of bLAP with sulphydryl-containing compounds, showing that metal exchange in site 1 modulates binding to these molecules that, depending on metal nature, may result as enzyme substrates or inhibitors. Work supported by FIRB project from Italian board for education.

Temperature-dependent macromolecular X-ray crystallography
X-ray crystallography provides structural details of biological macromolecules. Whereas routine data are collected close to 100 K in order to mitigate radiation damage, more exotic temperature-controlled experiments in a broader temperature range from 15 K to room temperature can provide both dynamical and structural insights. Here, the dynamical behaviour of crystalline macromolecules and thei...
متن کاملBetter results with homogeneous biological macromolecules
Pure and homogeneous biological macromolecules (i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid complexes, and functional assemblies such as ribosomes and viruses) are the key for consistent and reliable biochemical and biophysical measurements, as well as for reproducible crystallizations, best crystal diffraction properties, and exploitable electron microscopy images. Hi...
متن کاملProtein Data Bank (PDB): database of three-dimensional structural information of biological macromolecules.
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is a database containing experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids and other biological macromolecules, with approximately 8000 entries. Data are easily submitted via PDB's WWW-based tool AutoDep, in either mmCIF or PDB format, and are most conveniently examined via PDB's WWW-based tool 3DB Br...
متن کاملReview x Ray crystallography
x Ray crystallography is currently the most favoured technique for structure determination of proteins and biological macromolecules. Increasingly, those interested in all branches of the biological sciences require structural information to shed light on previously unanswered questions. Furthermore, the availability of a protein structure can provide a more detailed focus for future research. ...
متن کاملStructural analysis of non-crystalline macromolecules: the ribosome.
Single-particle analysis using cryo-electron microscopy has emerged recently as a tool for elucidating the structure of biological macromolecules and their assemblies. A prerequisite for single-particle analysis is an ensemble of images of structurally identical particles in different orientations. There are a variety of techniques used for image processing of this type of object in electron mi...
متن کاملJoint X-ray and neutron refinement with phenix.refine.
Approximately 85% of the structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank have been solved using X-ray crystallography, making it the leading method for three-dimensional structure determination of macromolecules. One of the limitations of the method is that the typical data quality (resolution) does not allow the direct determination of H-atom positions. Most hydrogen positions can be inferred fr...
