Thermodynamic characterization of the unfolding of the prion protein.
The prion protein appears to be unusually susceptible to conformational change, and unlike nearly all other proteins, it can easily be made to convert to alternative misfolded conformations. To understand the basis of this structural plasticity, a detailed thermodynamic characterization of two variants of the mouse prion protein (moPrP), the full-length moPrP (23-231) and the structured C-termi...
متن کاملDerivation of thermodynamic quantities from kinetic measurements
Results are presented of both traditional equilibrium and also gas phase kinetic measurements. These results are used to show, — (1) that measured enthalpies of formation of the fluorosilanes are probably in error, (2) a 13—silicon substituted alkyl radical is stabilised by ca 12 kJ mol' and (3) the simplest divalent silicon species, SiR2, has an enthalpy of formation of 273 ± 6 kJ mo11, some 3...
متن کاملDirect Calculation of Thermodynamic Quantities for
The XXX Heisenberg model is studied at finite temperature. The free energy is derived without recourse to Thermal Bethe Ansatz method and Quantum Transfer Matrix method. The result perfectly agrees with the free energy derived by Thermal Bethe Ansatz method. An explicit expression of the cluster expansion coefficient in arbitrary order is presented for the first time.
متن کاملInnate Immunity: Unfolding the Neuro-Immuno Connections
The innate immune system maintains health and fitness during infection by eliminating infectious agents and by limiting damage caused by pathogens or immune activation. The nervous system contributes to innate immunity by modulating the expression of antimicrobial peptides and by regulating the unfolded protein response.
متن کاملDistribution, Transition and Thermodynamic Stability of Protein Conformations in the Denaturant-Induced Unfolding of Proteins
BACKGROUND Extensive and intensive studies on the unfolding of proteins require appropriate theoretical model and parameter to clearly illustrate the feature and characteristic of the unfolding system. Over the past several decades, four approaches have been proposed to describe the interaction between proteins and denaturants, but some ambiguity and deviations usually occur in the explanation ...
