Molecular crowding enhances native structure and stability of / protein flavodoxin
To investigate the consequences of macromolecular crowding on the behavior of a globular protein, we performed a combined experimental and computational study on the 148-residue singledomain / protein, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans apoflavodoxin. In vitro thermal unfolding experiments, as well as assessment of native and denatured structures, were probed by using far-UV CD in the presence of vari...
متن کاملWhat Macromolecular Crowding Can Do to a Protein
The intracellular environment represents an extremely crowded milieu, with a limited amount of free water and an almost complete lack of unoccupied space. Obviously, slightly salted aqueous solutions containing low concentrations of a biomolecule of interest are too simplistic to mimic the "real life" situation, where the biomolecule of interest scrambles and wades through the tightly packed cr...
متن کاملEffects of confinement and crowding on folding of model proteins
We perform molecular dynamics simulations for a simple coarse-grained model of crambin placed inside of a softly repulsive sphere of radius R. The confinement makes folding at the optimal temperature slower and affects the folding scenarios, but both effects are not dramatic. The influence of crowding on folding are studied by placing several identical proteins within the sphere, denaturing the...
متن کاملAcuity, crowding, reading and fixation stability
People with age-related macular disease frequently experience reading difficulty that could be attributed to poor acuity, elevated crowding or unstable fixation associated with peripheral visual field dependence. We examine how the size, location, spacing and instability of retinal images affect the visibility of letters and words at different eccentricities. Fixation instability was simulated ...
متن کاملCan Merons Describe Confinement?
Merons, conjectured as a semiclassical mechanism for color confinement in QCD, are topological charge-1/2, singular solutions to the classical Yang-Mills equations of motion. I will discuss how lattice techniques can extend the study of merons to nonsingular stationary solutions without destroying properties believed to be essential for confinement, and how zero modes can be used to identify th...
