Relating gas phase to solution conformations: Lessons from disordered proteins
In recent years both mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) have been developed as techniques with which to study proteins that lack a fixed tertiary structure but may contain regions that form secondary structure elements transiently, namely intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). IM-MS is a suitable method for the study of IDPs which provides an insight to conform...
متن کاملIntrinsically disordered proteins: lessons from colicins.
Defining structural features of IDPs (intrinsically disordered proteins) and relating these to biological function requires characterization of their dynamical properties. In the present paper, we review what is known about the IDPs of colicins, protein antibiotics that use their IDPs to enter bacterial cells. The structurally characterized colicin IDPs we consider contain linear binding epitop...
متن کاملFrom solution to the gas phase: stepwise dehydration and kinetic trapping of substance P reveals the origin of peptide conformations.
Past experimental results and molecular dynamics simulations provide evidence that, under some conditions, electrospray ionization (ESI) of biomolecules produces ions that retain elements of solution phase structures. However, there is a dearth of information regarding the question raised by Breuker and McLafferty, "for how long, under what conditions, and to what extent, can solution structure...
متن کاملFlavin Adenine Dinucleotide Structural Motifs: From Solution to Gas Phase
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is involved in important metabolic reactions where the biological function is intrinsically related to changes in conformation. In the present work, FAD conformational changes were studied in solution and in gas phase by measuring the fluorescence decay time and ion-neutral collision cross sections (CCS, in a trapped ion mobility spectrometer, TIMS) as a functi...
متن کاملGas-Phase and Solution Conformations of the alpha-L-Iduronic Acid Structural Unit of Heparin
The IdoA2S structural unit of heparin (subunit G) may oscillate among the three conformations (4C1, 1C4, and 2So). Only the twisted boat conformation allowed the biologically active pentasaccharide unit of heparin (DEFGH) to bind to antithrombin. Our work reports, in detail, the results of systematic large-scale theoretical investigations of the three basic conformations (4C1, 1C4, and 2So) of ...
