A 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 کاملDNA Polymerase : Multiple Conformational Changes in the Mechanism of Catalysis†
Stopped-flow fluorescence assay was applied to identify conformational changes in the catalytic cycle of DNA polymerase (Pol ), using a synthetic DNA primer/template containing 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at the template position opposite the incoming dNTP. Two phases of fluorescence change were observed in the stopped-flow fluorescence assay of the incorporation of the correct nucleotide dTTP. The ra...
متن کاملFunctional roles of slow enzyme conformational changes in network dynamics.
Extensive studies from different fields reveal that many macromolecules, especially enzymes, show slow transitions among different conformations. This phenomenon is named such things as dynamic disorder, heterogeneity, hysteretic or mnemonic enzymes across these different fields, and has been directly demonstrated by single molecule enzymology and NMR studies recently. We analyzed enzyme slow c...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of multispecific recognition of Calmodulin through conformational changes.
Calmodulin (CaM) is found to have the capability to bind multiple targets. Investigations on the association mechanism of CaM to its targets are crucial for understanding protein-protein binding and recognition. Here, we developed a structure-based model to explore the binding process between CaM and skMLCK binding peptide. We found the cooperation between nonnative electrostatic interaction an...
