Reversible Conformational Changes of Myoglobin and Apomyoglobin.
The “thermodynamic” hypothesis of protein conformation (1) states that the sequence of amino acids characteristic of a given protein is sufficient to determine its secondary and tertiary structure, for the molecule will assume the conformation thermodynamically most stable. In an analogous vein, the “conformation” hypothesis (2) proposes that the steric and noncovalent bonding properties of pol...
متن کاملCompressibility changes accompanying conformational transitions of apomyoglobin.
We used high-precision density and ultrasonic velocity measurements to characterize the native (N), molten globule (MG), and unfolded (U) conformations of apomyoglobin. The molten globule states that were studied in this work include the MG(pH4)(NaCl) state observed at pH 4 and 20 mM NaCl, the MG(pH4)(NaTCA) state observed at pH 4 and 20 mM sodium trichloracetate (NaTCA), the MG(pH2)(NaCl) stat...
متن کاملConformational changes in sperm-whale metmyoglobin due to combination with antibodies to apomyoglobin.
1. No ferrihaem was detected in the precipitate formed by metmyoglobin with an antiserum to apomyoglobin and the extinction at 410mmu of metmyoglobin, due to ferrihaem, was decreased by the univalent fragments of apomyoglobin antibodies. It was concluded that the combination of apomyoglobin antibodies with metmyoglobin caused the release of ferrihaem. As the removal of ferrihaem from metmyoglob...
متن کاملConformational fluctuations and electronic properties in myoglobin
In this article we use the recently developed perturbed matrix method (PMM) to investigate the effect of conformational fluctuations on the electronic properties of heme in Myoglobin. This widely studied biomolecule has been chosen as a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of PMM in a large and complex system. Using a long, 80-ns, molecular dynamics simulation and unperturbed Configuration Int...
متن کاملProbing the role of hydration in the unfolding transitions of carbonmonoxy myoglobin and apomyoglobin.
We show that the equilibrium unfolding transition of horse carbonmonoxy myoglobin monitored by the stretching vibration of the CO ligand, a local environmental probe, is very sharp and, thus, quite different from those measured by global conformational reporters. In addition, the denatured protein exhibits an A(0)-like CO band. We hypothesize that this sharp transition reports penetration of wa...
