Force-induced conformational change of bacteriorhodopsin.
The cytoplasmic surface topography of purple membranes imaged by the atomic force microscope depends mainly on the force applied to the stylus. Imaged at forces of 300 pN, individual bacteriorhodopsin molecules reveal two domains. The resulting donut-shaped trimers reversibly transform into structures exhibiting three prominent protrusions when scanned at 100 pN. In parallel, the height of the ...
متن کاملA Study of the Oxidation-Induced Conformational and Functional Changes in Neuroserpin
Neuroserpin, a member of the Serine Proteinase Inhibitor (Serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. Neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which may increase its neuroprotective effect. On the other hand, the oxidative modifications of the amin...
متن کاملMeasuring Surface-Induced Conformational Changes in Proteins
Microfabricated cantilever sensors were used to measure the surface stress induced by protein adsorption onto a gold surface. Two proteins, immoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin (BSA), were studied. The change of surface stress upon adsorption of IgG was found to be compressive, whereas that of BSA was tensile. This difference is elucidated in terms of protein deformation and packing. Most stress ch...
متن کاملCollision-induced conformational changes in glycine.
We present quantum dynamical calculations on the conformational changes of glycine in collisions with the He, Ne, and Ar rare-gas atoms. For two conformer interconversion processes (III-->I and IV-->I), we find that the probability of interconversion is dependent on several factors, including the energy of the collision, the angle at which the colliding atom approaches the glycine molecule, and...
متن کاملCofilin-induced unidirectional cooperative conformational changes in actin filaments revealed by high-speed atomic force microscopy
High-speed atomic force microscopy was employed to observe structural changes in actin filaments induced by cofilin binding. Consistent with previous electron and fluorescence microscopic studies, cofilin formed clusters along actin filaments, where the filaments were 2-nm thicker and the helical pitch was ~25% shorter, compared to control filaments. Interestingly, the shortened helical pitch w...
