Identification of RNA-binding sites in artemin based on docking energy landscapes and molecular dynamics simulation
There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...
متن کاملA Microcalorimetry Study of the Binding of Nickel Ion by Human Growth Hormone
A binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human Growth Hormone (hGH), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚C in NaCl solution (50 mM) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. The intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μM and -16...
متن کاملCoordination and Siting of Cu+ Ion Adsorbed into Silicalite-2 Porous Structure: A Density Functional Theory Study
Coordination of Cu+ ions adsorbed on plausible sites of a silicalite-2 lattice has been investigated computationally via hybrid density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311+G* and B3LYP/Def2-TZVP levels of theory using molecular models of the active site. The symmetrical coordination of Cu+ ions to almost five oxygen atoms of the all-silica framework in six-membered ring (6MR) sites of t...
متن کاملExploration of metal ion binding sites in RNA folds by Brownian-dynamics simulations.
BACKGROUND Metal ions participate in the three-dimensional folding of RNA and provide active centers in catalytic RNA molecules. The positions of metal ions are known for a few RNA structures determined by X-ray crystallography. In addition to the crystallographically identified sites, solution studies point to many more metal ion binding sites around structured RNAs. Metal ions are also presen...
متن کاملLow specificity of metal ion binding in the metal ion core of a folded RNA.
The structure and activity of nucleic acids depend on their interactions with metal ions. Fundamental to these interactions is the degree of specificity observed between the metal ions and nucleic acids, and a complete description of nucleic acid folding requires that we understand the nature of the interactions with metal ions, including specificity. The prior demonstration that high concentra...
