Equilibrium crossing exhibited by an ethynylhelicene (M)-nonamer during random-coil-to-double-helix thermal transition in solution.

چکیده
The structural change between the random-coil and the double-helix of an ethynylhelicene (M)-nonamer during heating crosses equilibrium. This is a phenomenon where a chemical reaction crosses equilibrium and returns to equilibrium. It is due to an accelerated rate of formation of the double-helix by self-catalysis and an equilibrium shift.

response : heat - induced double - helix formation of an ethynylhelicene oligomer with tri ( ethylene glycol ) termini †
An ethynylhelicene oligomer [(M)-D-4]-C12-TEG with six tri(ethylene glycol) (TEG) groups at the termini was synthesized, and double-helix formation was studied using CD, UV-Vis, vapor pressure osmometry, dynamic light scattering, and H NMR. [(M)-D-4]-C12-TEG reversibly changed its structure between a double helix and a random coil in response to heating and cooling in aromatic solvents, non-aro...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics studies on the denaturation of polyalanine in the presence of guanidinium chloride at low concentration
Molecular dynamic simulation is a powerful method that monitors all variations in the atomic level in explicit solvent. By this method we can calculate many chemical and biochemical properties of large scale biological systems. In this work all-atom molecular dynamics simulation of polyalanine (PA) was investigated in the presence of 0.224, 0.448, 0.673, 0.897 and 1.122 M of guanidinium chlorid...
متن کاملSelf-catalysis in thermal hysteresis during random-coil to helix-dimer transition of the sulfonamidohelicene tetramer.
The sulfonamidohelicene tetramer changes its structure between a random-coil and a helix-dimer, by which molecular thermal hysteresis appears. Mixing experiments on helix-dimer and random-coil solutions and kinetic analysis show that the transition from the random-coil to the helix-dimer involves self-catalysis by the helix-dimer.
متن کاملA conformational study of porcine thyrocalcitonin.
The structure of porcine thyrocalcitonin has been evaluated by circular dichroism, optical rotatory dispersion, infrared spectroscopy, and fluorescence. The degree of helical structure was estimated by circular dichroism (222 mp) and optical rotatory dispersion (233 mp) at the n + r* transition of the Q: helix. The optical activity at this transition suggests that thyrocalcitonin contains appro...
متن کاملApparent helix-coil transition for poly (L-alanine) as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance.
The previous contention by several groups that double peaks that arise in NMR spectra from NH and alpha-CH protons of poly L-alanines are caused by the coexistence of helical and random-coil structures in solution is disputed.
