Regeneration of the native bacteriorhodopsin structure from two chymotryptic fragments.
Chymotrypsin cleaves bacteriorhodopsin to two fragments: C-1, amino acids 72-248, and C-2, amino acids 1-71. Denaturation and renaturation of these fragments have been studied. Following denaturation in sodium dodecyl sulfate, both C-1 and C-2 regain secondary structure in phospholipid/cholate/sodium dodecyl sulfate mixed micelles. When combined, they form a complex with a secondary structure r...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of peptide fragments from hen lysozyme: insight into non-native protein conformations.
Molecular dynamics simulations of four peptides taken from the hen lysozyme sequence have been used to generate models for non-native protein conformations. Comparisons between the different peptides and with experimental data for denatured lysozyme and peptide fragments provides insight into the characteristics of the conformational ensembles populated in these non-native states and the depend...
متن کاملPredicting Peptide Structures in Native Proteins from Physical Simulations of Fragments
It has long been proposed that much of the information encoding how a protein folds is contained locally in the peptide chain. Here we present a large-scale simulation study designed to examine the extent to which conformations of peptide fragments in water predict native conformations in proteins. We perform replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) simulations of 872 8-mer, 12-mer, and 16-me...
متن کاملAnticancer Properties of Peptide Fragments of Hair Proteins
The primary function of hair and fur covering mammalian skin is to provide mechanical and thermal protection for the body. The proteins that constitute hair are extremely resistant to degradation by environmental factors. However, even durable materials can be slowly broken down by mechanical stresses, biodegradation mediated by endogenous enzymes in the skin or host microbes. We hypothesised t...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Nanosheets from Redox-Active Superatoms
We describe a new approach to synthesize two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets from the bottom-up. We functionalize redox-active superatoms with groups that can direct their assembly into multidimensional solids. We synthesized Co6Se8[PEt2(4-C6H4COOH)]6 and found that it forms a crystalline assembly. The solid-state structure is a three-dimensional (3D) network in which the carboxylic acids form inte...
