Isotope-edited FTIR in H2O: determination of the conformation of specific residues in a model α-helix peptide by 13C labeled carbonyls.

چکیده
Isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy has been shown to be able to determine peptide's structure in the residue level in D2O, which is not a physiological solvent. Here, attenuated total reflection technique was utilized to successfully apply isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy in H2O to determine the conformation of specific residues in a model peptide.

A MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA
A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...

The helix-coil transition kinetics of an alpha-helical peptide were investigated by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy coupled with laser-induced temperature-jump initiation method. Specific isotope labeling of the amide carbonyl groups with 13C at selected residues was used to obtain site-specific information. The relaxation kinetics following a temperature jump, obtained by probing the amide...

The N-terminal domain of HIV-1 glycoprotein 41,000 (gp41) participates in viral fusion processes. Here, we use physical and computational methodologies to examine the secondary structure of a peptide based on the N terminus (FP; residues 1-23) in aqueous and detergent environments. (12)C-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated greater alpha-helix for FP in lipid-detergent sodiu...
متن کاملIsotope-edited FTIR reveals distinct aggregation and structural behaviors of unmodified and pyroglutamylated amyloid β peptides.
Amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is causatively associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and N-terminally truncated and pyroglutamylated Aβ peptides (AβpE) exert hypertoxic effect by an unknown mechanism. Recent evidence has identified the prefibrillar oligomers of Aβ, not the fibrils, as the prevalent cytotoxic species. Structural characterization of Aβ and AβpE oligomers is therefore important for bet...
متن کاملAn Empirical Correlation between Amide Deuterium Isotope Effects on 13CR Chemical Shifts and Protein Backbone Conformation
Three-dimensional, triple resonance NMR techniques are described for measurement of two-bond (intraresidual) and three-bond (sequential) amide deuterium isotope effects on 13CR chemical shifts. Measurements were carried out for uniformly 15N and 13C labeled human ubiquitin equilibrated in a 50% H2O/50% D2O mixed solvent. The three-bond isotope shift, 3∆CR(ND), ranges from about 10-50 ppb, and, ...
