Conformations of GlynH
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-resolution ion mobility measurements and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to probe the conformations of protonated polyglycine and polyalanine (GlynH 1 and AlanH , n 5 3–20) in the gas phase. The measured collision integrals for both the polyglycine and the polyalanine peptides are consistent with a self-solvated globule conformation, where the peptide chain wraps around and solvates the charge located on the terminal amine. The conformations of the small peptides are governed entirely by self-solvation, whereas the larger ones have additional backbone hydrogen bonds. Helical conformations, which are stable for neutral Alan peptides, were not observed in the experiments. Molecular dynamics simulations for AlanH 1 peptides suggest that the charge destabilizes the helix, although several of the low energy conformations found in the simulations for the larger AlanH 1 peptides have small helical regions.

متن کاملTheoretical Study of Flavopiridol Binded to Transition Metals
More recently medical chemistry research has been focused on proteins that drive and controlcell cycle progression. Among them, the cyclin dependent kinases (cdk’s) are a group ofserine/threonine kinases, which rule the transition between successive stages of the cell cycle. Theactivity of cdk’s is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including binding to cyclins, which is a broadclass of positive...
