Conformational and Disorder to Order Transitions in Proteins: Structure / Function Correlation in Apolipoproteins
The concept of protein folding is directly related with the process of reversible disorder-toorder transitions, by which an unfolded polypeptide chain folds into a specific functional native structure (Eaton et al., 2000; Rose et al., 2006). For folding into a native state, unfolded polypeptide chains require the intervention of weak interactions. Driven by hydrophobic interactions, a polypepti...
متن کاملG-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملHybrid polypeptides: gabapentin as a stereochemically constrained γ-amino acid residue.
The design of folded structures in peptides containing the higher homologues of α-amino acid residues requires the restriction of the range of local conformational choices. In α-amino acids stereochemically constrained residues like α,α-dialkylated residue, aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), and D-Proline ((D)Pro) have proved extremely useful in the design of helices and hairpins in short peptides. Ex...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Position-Dependent Properties in the Protein Secondary Structures
Background: Establishing theories for designing arbitrary protein structures is complicated and depends on understanding the principles for protein folding, which is affected by applied features. Computer algorithms can reach high precision and stability in computationally designing enzymes and binders by applying informative features obtained from natural structures. Methods: In this study, a ...
متن کاملOn the cis to trans isomerization of prolyl-peptide bonds under tension.
The cis peptide bond is a characteristic feature of turns in protein structures and can play the role of a hinge in protein folding. Such cis conformations are most commonly found at peptide bonds immediately preceding proline residues, as the cis and trans states for such bonds are close in energy. However, isomerization over the high rotational barrier is slow. In this study, we investigate h...
