Computational analysis of unfolding and folding pathways of proteins from amide proton exchange
نویسنده
چکیده
The exchange rate of amide proton is dependent on primary sequence of amino acids, pH and temperature. A novel computational program has been developed to predict the exchange rates of amide protons in a protein and their relationship with unfolding and folding has been analyzed. The structure -function relationship of proteins can be well probed at atomic level resolution using Hydrogen deuterium exchange methods.

Computational approaches to study protein unfolding: hen egg white lysozyme as a case study.
Four methods are compared to drive the unfolding of a protein: (1) high temperature (T-run), (2) high pressure (P-run), (3) by imposing a gradual increase in the mean radius of the protein using a penalty function added to the physical interaction function (F-run, radial force driven unfolding), and (4) by weak coupling of the difference between the temperature of the radially outward moving at...
متن کاملStabilization of native protein fold by intein-mediated covalent cyclization.
A mutant version of the N-terminal domain of Escherichia coli DnaB helicase was used as a model system to assess the stabilization against unfolding gained by covalent cyclization. Cyclization was achieved in vivo by formation of an amide bond between the N and C termini with the help of a split mini-intein. Linear and circular proteins were constructed to be identical in amino acid sequence. M...
متن کاملMultiple cycles of global unfolding of GroEL-bound cyclophilin A evidenced by NMR.
GroE, the chaperonin system of Escherichia coli, prevents the aggregation of partially folded or misfolded proteins by complexing them in a form competent for subsequent folding to the native state. We examined the exchange of amide protons of cyclophilin A (CypA) interacting with GroEL, using NMR spectroscopy. We have applied labeling pulses in H2O to the deuterated GroEL-CypA-complex. When AT...

Although adsorption-induced conformational changes of proteins play an essential role during protein adsorption on interfaces, detailed information about these changes is lacking. To further the current understanding of protein adsorption, in this study, the orientation, conformation, and local stability of bovine alpha-lactalbumin (BLA) adsorbed on polystyrene nanospheres is characterized at t...
متن کاملFolding and stability of sweet protein single-chain monellin. An insight to protein engineering.
Engineered single-chain monellin (SCM) proteins were constructed by recombinant technology without disrupting the topology and sweet activity of native protein. Data from 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid fluorescence, size-exclusion chromatography, and heteronuclear NMR strongly suggest the presence of a folding intermediate at 1.5 m GdnHCl for SCM protein. The structural feature of the fol...
