Asymmetric ligand binding by haemoglobin

مطالعه شیمی فیزیکی ساختمان لیزوزیم به روش ligand binding

پروتئینها فراوان تری مولکولهای آلی در بدن جانداران می باشند. آنزیم ها یکی از مهمترین نوع پروتئینهای کروی می باشند که بعضی از فعالیتهای حیات بدانها وابسته است . لیزوزیم اولین آنزیم شناخته شده است . این آنزیم دارای 129 واحد اسید آمینه در زنجیر پلی پپتیدی و چهار پیوند سیستئین درون زنجیری می باشد. لیزوزیم به دلیل دارا بودن اسید آمینه های باردار توان پذیرش بعضی از لیگاندها را دارا می باشد. در این پا...

Ligand binding by TPR domains.

Tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains bind specific peptide ligands and are thought to mediate protein-protein interactions in a variety of biological systems. Here we compare peptide ligand-binding by several different TPR domains. We present specific examples that demonstrate that TPR domains typically undergo little or no structural rearrangement upon ligand binding. Our data suggest that, ...

Transition to cooperative oxygen-binding by embryonic haemoglobin in mice.

Characterizing Protein/ligand Binding by DsC

All proteins are capable of recognizing and binding specific molecules such as other proteins, cofactors, prosthetic groups or drugs. Efforts to understand the mechanisms controlling selective binding were initially prompted by the realization that recognition and binding are universal features of all biochemical processes. These efforts have intensified with the awareness that knowledge-based ...

Structural basis for ligand and innate immunity factor uptake by the trypanosome haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor

The haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor (HpHbR) of African trypanosomes allows acquisition of haem and provides an uptake route for trypanolytic factor-1, a mediator of innate immunity against trypanosome infection. In this study, we report the structure of Trypanosoma brucei HpHbR in complex with human haptoglobin-haemoglobin (HpHb), revealing an elongated ligand-binding site that extends along i...
