چکیده

The three-dimensional structure of [Cd7]-metallothionein-2 from rat liver was determined in aqueous solution, using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry and distance geometry calculations. The experimental data provided proton-proton distance constraints from measurements of nuclear Overhauser effects, constraints on the geometry of the metal-cysteine clusters determined by heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy, and dihedral angle constraints derived from both coupling constants and nuclear Overhauser effects. The structure calculations were performed with the program DISMAN. As in previous studies with rabbit liver metallothionein-2a, the structure calculations were performed separately for the alpha and beta-domains containing the 4 and 3-metal clusters, respectively, since no interdomain constraints were found. For both domains, the global polypeptide fold, the location of polypeptide secondary structure elements, the architecture of the metal-sulfur cluster and the local chirality of the metal co-ordination are very similar to the solution structure of rabbit metallothionein-2a, but show considerable difference relative to the crystal structure of rat metallothionein-2.

The Conformations of 1-Thiacyclooctan-3-One Dynamic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Force-Field Calculation

The 1H and natural-abundance 13C-NMR spectra of 1-thiacyclooctan-3-one (1) have been measured from 25 to -100°C. Coalescence is observed in the 1H-NMR spectra of (1) at about -80°C, and attributed to ring inversion in a boat-chair conformation, which is the predominant conformation of (1). The free energy of activation (DG¹</s...

Structure of the active domain of the herpes simplex virus protein ICP47 in water/sodium dodecyl sulfate solution determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

ICP47 encoded by herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a key factor in the evasion of cellular immune response against HSV-infected cells. By specific inhibition of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), ICP47 prevents peptide transport into the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequent loading of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Amino acid residues 3-34 have been...

The pH-responsive behaviour of poly(acrylic acid) in aqueous solution is dependent on molar mass.

Fluorescence spectroscopy on a series of aqueous solutions of poly(acrylic acid) containing a luminescent label showed that polymers with molar mass, Mn < 16.5 kDa did not exhibit a pH responsive conformational change, which is typical of higher molar mass poly(acrylic acid). Below this molar mass, polymers remained in an extended conformation, regardless of pH. Above this molar mass, a pH-depe...

Conformational analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae tridecapeptide mating pheromone by 13C,15N rotational-echo double resonance nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The solid-state conformation of [Nle12]alpha-factor, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae tridecapeptide mating pheromone (WHWLQLKPGQPNleY), was investigated by 13C,15N rotational-echo double resonance (REDOR) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Previous high-resolution NMR studies of [Nle12]alpha-factor in solution revealed a transient Type II beta-turn spanning residues 7-10 of the peptide...

Background: Analysis of biofluids provides a unique window into the biochemical status of a living organism since the composition of a given biofluid will be modulated according to the level of function of the cells that are intimately concerned with its manufacture and secretion. One of the most successful approaches to biofluid analysis has been the application of NMR spectroscopy. Objective...
