Foldameric probes for membrane interactions by induced β-sheet folding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design strategies were devised for α/β-peptide foldameric analogues of the antiangiogenic anginex with the goal of mimicking the diverse structural features from the unordered conformation to a folded β-sheet in response to membrane interactions. Structure-activity relationships were investigated in the light of different β-sheet folding levels.

Early folding intermediate of ribonuclease A.
Pulsed hydrogen exchange (2H-1H) is used to characterize the folding process of ribonuclease A (disulfide bonds intact). The results show one principal early folding intermediate (I1), which is formed rapidly after the start of folding and whose proton-exchange properties change with the time of folding. All probes that are hydrogen bonded within the beta-sheet of native ribonuclease A are prot...

0022-2836/$ see front matter © 2007 E Spontaneous membrane insertion and folding of β-barrel membrane proteins from an unfolded state into lipid bilayers has been shown previously only for few outermembrane proteins of Gram-negative bacteria. Here we investigated membrane insertion and folding of a human membrane protein, the isoform 1 of the voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (hVDAC1) o...
متن کاملEfficient Traversal of Beta-Sheet Protein Folding Pathways Using Ensemble Models
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can now predict ms-timescale folding processes of small proteins; however, this presently requires hundreds of thousands of CPU hours and is primarily applicable to short peptides with few long-range interactions. Larger and slower-folding proteins, such as many with extended β-sheet structure, would require orders of magnitude more time and computing resourc...

Designed peptides demonstrating well-defined structures and functioning in membrane environment are of significant interest in developing novel proteins for membrane active biological processes including enzymes, electron transfer, ion channels and energy conversion. Heme proteins' ability to carry out multiple functions in nature has inspired the design of several helical heme binding peptides...
متن کاملTransition states in protein folding kinetics: Modeling Φ-values of small β-sheet proteins
Small single-domain proteins often exhibit only a single free-energy barrier, or transition state, between the denatured and the native state. The folding kinetics of these proteins is usually explored via mutational analysis. A central question is which structural information on the transition state can be derived from the mutational data. In this article, we model and structurally interpret m...
