Site‐Specific Immobilization of the Peptidoglycan Synthase PBP1B on a Surface Plasmon Resonance Chip Surface
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is one of the most powerful label-free methods to determine the kinetic parameters of molecular interactions in real time and in a highly sensitive way. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are peptidoglycan synthesis enzymes present in most bacteria. Established protocols to analyze interactions of PBPs by SPR involve immobilization to an ampicillin-coated chip su...
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 کاملDifferences between inner membrane and peptidoglycan-associated PBP1B dimers of Escherichia coli.
Earlier studies revealed that PBP1B of Escherichia coli occurred as a monomeric as well as a dimeric form (C.A.L. Zijderveld, M.E.G. Aarsman, T. den Blaauwen, and N. Nanninga, J. Bacteriol. 173:5740-5746, 1991). In this study, the dimer of PBP1B was further analyzed. It appeared that the dimeric form could be divided into two classes. One class, which cofractionated with the cell wall fraction,...
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...
