Nonequilibrium Response Spectroscopy and the Molecular Kinetics of Proteins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonequilibrium response spectroscopy is a novel method of analyzing the molecular kinetics of voltage-sensitive proteins that involves measuring of the nonequilibrium response of the molecules to fluctuating fields with large amplitudes and frequencies. This response is exquisitely sensitive to features of the kinetics that are difficult or impossible to resolve by means of more traditional relaxation transient experiments. [S0031-9007(97)04963-6]

Inverting the blowtorch: studying the ‘slow’ molecular kinetics of proteins with nonequilibrium response spectroscopy
Nonequilibrium response spectroscopy (NRS) is a novel method of analyzing the molecular kinetics of voltage-sensitive proteins that involves measurement of the nonequilibrium response of the molecules driven in a thermodynamically irreversible way by fluctuating fields with large amplitudes and frequencies. NRS is sensitive to features of the conformational kinetics that can not be resolved by ...
متن کاملApplication of the ensemble nonequilibrium response spectroscopy to shaker potassium channel gating.
Standard electrophysiology techniques study relaxation transients in voltage-gated ion channels generated by discrete voltage steps. The nonequilibrium response spectroscopy involves analyzing responses to fluctuating potentials. We apply the ensemble NRS method to gating kinetics of Shaker potassium ion channels. We evaluate various proposed Markov models of channel gating from the nonequilibr...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent model of human cardiac sodium channel
Cardiac sodium channels are integral membrane proteins whose structure is not known at atomic level yet and their molecular kinetics is still being studied through mathematical modeling. This study has focused on adapting an existing model of cardiac Na channel to analyze molecular kinetics of channels at 9-37°C. Irvine et al developed a Markov model for Na channel using Neuronal Network Model ...

متن کاملIn vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy
In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...
