Thermal unfolding of proteins.
Thermal unfolding of proteins is compared to folding and mechanical stretching in a simple topology-based dynamical model. We define the unfolding time and demonstrate its low-temperature divergence. Below a characteristic temperature, contacts break at separate time scales and unfolding proceeds approximately in a way reverse to folding. Features in these scenarios agree with experiments and a...
متن کاملPartial 3D Shape Retrieval by Reeb Pattern Unfolding
This paper presents a novel approach for fast and efficient partial shape retrieval on a collection of 3D shapes. Each shape is represented by a Reeb graph associated with geometrical signatures. Partial similarity between two shapes is evaluated by computing a variant of their maximum common sub-graph. By investigating Reeb graph theory, we take advantage of its intrinsic properties at two lev...
متن کاملThermal Unfolding of Membrane Proteins
The biophysical characterization of integral membrane protein stability is often challenging due to several factors: First, the expression and purification of membrane proteins is often impeded by low expression levels and protein stability. As a result, yields are usually low and do not allow for a thorough analysis or a screening approach to determine optimal conditions. Second, the use of de...
متن کاملSlow Unfolding of Monomeric Proteins from Hyperthermophiles with Reversible Unfolding
Based on the differences in their optimal growth temperatures microorganisms can be classified into psychrophiles, mesophiles, thermophiles, and hyperthermophiles. Proteins from hyperthermophiles generally exhibit greater stability than those from other organisms. In this review, we collect data about the stability and folding of monomeric proteins from hyperthermophilies with reversible unfold...
متن کاملForce induced unfolding of proteins
Native structures of wild-type proteins may unfold as external conditions change. Usually unfolding occurs as a result of raising temperature, increasing the concentration of denaturants such as urea or guanidinium chloride, or changing pH. Only recently it has been recognized that certain wild-type proteins are subject to external force and in the course of performing biological functions they...
