Assessing the Ability of Spectroscopic Methods to Determine the Difference in the Folding Propensities of Highly Similar β-Hairpins
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have evaluated the ability of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies to describe the difference in the folding propensities of two structurally highly similar cyclic β-hairpins, comparing the outcome to that of molecular dynamics simulations. NAMFIS-type NMR ensemble analysis and CD spectroscopy were observed to accurately describe the consequence of altering a single interaction site, whereas a single-site 13C NMR chemical shift melting curve-based technique was not.

Physicochemical 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 کاملβ-hairpin forms by rolling up from C-terminal: Topological guidance of early folding dynamics
That protein folding is a non-random, guided process has been known even prior to Levinthal's paradox; yet, guided searches, attendant mechanisms and their relation to primary sequence remain obscure. Using extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a β-hairpin with key sequence features similar to those of >13,000 β-hairpins in full proteins, we provide significant insights on the entire pre-...

Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...
متن کاملEvaluation of Some Methods for Preparing Glipizide-β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes
Glipizide has been found to form inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in solution and in solid state. The present study was undertaken to determine a suitable method for scaling up glipizide-β-CD inclusion complex formation and to evaluate the effect of some parameters on the efficiency of complexation. The solid inclusion complexes of glipizide and β-CD were prepared at a molar...
