Spider silks combine a significant number of desirable characteristics in one material, including large tensile strength and strain at breaking, biocompatibility, and the possibility of tailoring their properties. Major ampullate gland silk (MAS) is the most studied silk and their properties are explained by a double lattice of hydrogen bonds and elastomeric protein chains linked to polyalanine...
Trinucleotide expansions cause disease by both protein- and RNA-mediated mechanisms. Unexpectedly, we discovered that CAG expansion constructs express homopolymeric polyglutamine, polyalanine, and polyserine proteins in the absence of an ATG start codon. This repeat-associated non-ATG translation (RAN translation) occurs across long, hairpin-forming repeats in transfected cells or when expansio...
The stability, persistence and dynamics of the peptide secondary motifs are investigated in a series of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)-b-polyalanine (PBLG-b-PAla) polypeptides through a combination of structural (X-rays, NMR) and dynamic (Dielectric Spectroscopy, NMR) probes. The unfavorable enthalpic interactions between the unlike blocks give rise to nanophase separation that results in the desta...
Ion mobility measurements have been performed for protonated polyalanine peptides (A10 + H+, A15 + H+, A20 + H+, A25 + H+, and A15NH2 + H+) as a function of temperature using a new high-temperature drift tube. Peaks due to helices and globules were found at room temperature for all peptides, except for A10 + H+ (where only the globule is present). As the temperature is increased, the helix and ...
The 21 residue polyalanine-based F(s) peptide was studied using thousands of long, explicit solvent, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations that reached equilibrium at the ensemble level. Peptide conformational preference as a function of hydrophobicity was examined using a spectrum of explicit solvent models, and the peptide length-dependence of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of ...
The dimerization of polyalanine peptides in a hydrophobic environment was explored using replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations. A nonpolar solvent (cyclohexane) was used to mimic, among other hydrophobic environments, the hydrophobic interior of a membrane in which the peptides are fully embedded. Our simulations reveal that while the polyalanine monomer preferentially adopts a beta-h...
We derive the grand partition function of protein chain by restricting dihedral angles to exist only in five distinct states and assume that the dominant noncovalent potential is the hydrogen bond interaction. We investigate the phase transition of protein secondary structures and the order of the transition through analyzing its heat capacity. Our theory demonstrates the presence of α-β-coil s...
High-resolution ion mobility measurements and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to probe the conformations of protonated polyglycine and polyalanine (GlynH 1 and AlanH , n 5 3–20) in the gas phase. The measured collision integrals for both the polyglycine and the polyalanine peptides are consistent with a self-solvated globule conformation, where the peptide chain wraps around and s...
