Connecting cluster dynamics and protein folding
The relaxation dynamics of clusters can be interpreted in terms of the topographies of their potential surfaces. Systems with short-range potentials have sawtooth-like potential surfaces with small drops in energy from one local minimum to the next and few-body motions as the clusters move from one minimum to another; such systems readily take on amorphous structures. These are called “glassfor...
متن کاملConnecting high-temperature and low-temperature protein stability and aggregation
Protein aggregation is a long-standing problem for preservation of proteins in both laboratory settings and for commercial biotechnology products. It is well established that heating (cooling) can accelerate (slow) aggregation by populating (depopulating) unfolded or partially unfolded monomer states that are key intermediates in aggregation processes. However, there is a long-standing question...
متن کاملPrion protein dynamics before aggregation.
Prion diseases, like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson disease, are rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolding followed by aggregation and accumulation of protein deposits in neuronal cells. Here we measure intramolecular polypeptide backbone reconfiguration as a way to understand the molecular basis of prion aggregation. Our hypothesis is that when reconfiguration is ...
متن کاملProbing protein aggregation using discrete molecular dynamics.
Understanding the role of biomolecular dynamics in cellular processes leading to human diseases and the ability to rationally manipulate these processes is of fundamental importance in scientific research. The last decade has witnessed significant progress in probing biophysical behavior of proteins. However, we are still limited in understanding how changes in protein dynamics and inter-protei...
