Fast chain contraction during protein folding: "foldability" and collapse dynamics.
Theory indicates that at least some proteins will undergo a rapid and unimpeded collapse, like a disorganized hydrophobic chain, prior to folding. Yet experiments continue to find signs of an organized, or barrier-limited, collapse in even the fastest (approximately mus) folding proteins. Does the kinetic barrier represent a signature of the equilibrium "foldability" of these molecules? We have...
متن کاملPolypeptide chain collapse and protein folding.
Polypeptide chain collapse is an integral component of a protein folding reaction. In this review, experimental characterization of the interplay of polypeptide chain collapse, secondary structure formation, consolidation of the hydrophobic core and the development of tertiary interactions, is scrutinized. In particular, the polypeptide chain collapse reaction is examined in the context of the ...
متن کاملStepwise helix formation and chain compaction during protein folding.
O ne of the persistent problems in protein folding is understanding the relative importance of secondary and tertiary structure formation. Elements of secondary structure are stabilized primarily by interactions among amino acids that are close in sequence, whereas tertiary structure is supported by interactions among more distant segments of the chain. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume tha...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Tertiary Motifs in RNA Structure and Folding.
Specific tertiary structural motifs determine the complete architecture of RNA molecules (see picture for examples). Within the last few years a number of high-resolution crystal structures of complex RNAs have led to new insights into the mechanisms by which these complex folds are attained. In this review the structures of these tertiary motifs and how they influence the folding pathway of bi...
