Conformational stability of bovine holo and apo adrenodoxin--a scanning calorimetric study.
Holo and apo adrenodoxin were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, absorption spectroscopy, limited proteolysis, and size-exclusion chromatography. To determine the conformational stability of adrenodoxin, a method was found that prevents the irreversible destruction of the iron-sulfur center. The approach makes use of a buffer solution that contains sodium sulfide and mercaptoethanol....
متن کاملMeasuring the conformational stability of membrane proteins using the UNit
Introduction Use of extrinsic dyes to study protein unfolding Measurement of thermal stability is a valuable tool for assessing the suitability of proteins to a wide range of applications, including their use as therapeutic drugs or food additives. Indeed, researchers commonly require practical methods to rapidly screen conditions that afford the best environment for a particular protein. The U...
متن کاملProtein Stability, Folding, Disaggregation and Etiology of Conformational Malfunctions
Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...
متن کاملContribution of histidine residues to the conformational stability of ribonuclease T1 and mutant Glu-58----Ala.
The pK values of the histidine residues in ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) are unusually high: 7.8 (His-92), 7.9 (His-40), and 7.3 (His-27) [Inagaki et al. (1981) J. Biochem. 89, 1185-1195]. In the RNase T1 mutant Glu-58----Ala, the first two pK values are reduced to 7.4 (His-92) and 7.1 (His-40). These lower pKs were expected since His-92 (5.5 A) and His-40 (3.7 A) are in close proximity to Glu-58 ...
متن کاملStability and conformational properties of doppel, a prion-like protein, and its single-disulphide mutant.
Both prion protein and the structurally homologous protein doppel are associated with neurodegenerative disease by mechanisms which remain elusive. We have prepared murine doppel, and a mutant with one of the two disulphide bonds removed, in the expectation of increasing the similarity of doppel to prion protein in terms of conformation and stability. Unfolding studies of doppel and the mutant ...
