The dynamics and conformational landscape of proteins in organic solvents are events of potential interest in nonaqueous process catalysis. Conformational changes, folding transitions, and stability often correspond to structural rearrangements that alter contacts between solvent molecules and amino acid residues. However, in nonaqueous enzymology, organic solvents limit stability and further a...

UNLABELLED Flaviviruses sample an ensemble of virion conformations resulting from the conformational flexibility of their structural proteins. To investigate how sequence variation among strains impacts virus breathing, we performed studies with the monoclonal antibody (MAb) E111, which binds an inaccessible domain III envelope (E) protein epitope of dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV1). Prior studi...

Conformational flexibility of cyclen controlled by complexation with Ni( ii ) and Cu( as evidenced structural studies.

for better understanding of conformational stability of the dipeptide model hco—gly—l—leu—nh2,ab initio and dft computations at hf/6-31g(4 6-311++g(d,p) and b3lyp/6-31g(d) levels oftheory were carried out. geometry optimization of the dipeptide within the leucine (leu) side chainangles (x2 ,x2) resulted in three stable conformations as followings: anti-anti, the most stable one,(xi = 180°, x2 =...

bcn compounds have been researched theoretically and experimentally widely. in this paper, weintroduce the theoretical prediction of ternary b-c-n compounds. nmr spectroscopy was employedextensively to study these ternary nanostructures. we discuss the utilization of chemical shiftinformation as well as ab initio calculations of nuclear shielding for h20134c9n4 structuredetermination. we calcul...

conformational properties of n-aryl-1-azacyclooctan-5- ones with a p-methyl, m-methyl, and p-methoxy group as a substituent have been studied by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr and ir spectroscopies. transannular interaction of the two functional groups have been examined from the ring inversion barriers and the carbonyl vibrational frequencies with reference to the corresponding data of the respective monofun...

albumin has a fundamental role in human body. its main tasks in blood are to regulate osmotic blood pressure, maintaining the ph, and transporting metabolites and drugs throughout the vascular system.  pharmacological studies of the interaction of drugs on hsa are important due to structural and functional changes of this vital protein; thus, here in this research the effect of valproate as a c...

the current study was designed to estimate the frequency of capn3 and adrb3 genes single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) and investigate if their polymorphisms have association with estimated breeding values (ebvs) of growth traits in baluchi sheep. phenotypic information about several sheep growth traits on 102 purebred baluchi sheep was collected. association effects of the variants of capn3 ...

Polymorphisms in ovine PrP at amino acid residues 141 and 154 are associated with susceptibility to ovine prion disease: Leu141Arg154 with classical scrapie and Phe141Arg154 and Leu141His154 with atypical scrapie. Classical scrapie is naturally transmissible between sheep, whereas this may not be the case with atypical scrapie. Critical amino acid residues will determine the range or stability ...
