Molecular Dynamics Simulations Reveal Proton Transfer Pathways in Cytochrome C-Dependent Nitric Oxide Reductase
Nitric oxide reductases (NORs) are membrane proteins that catalyze the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N(2)O), which is a critical step of the nitrate respiration process in denitrifying bacteria. Using the recently determined first crystal structure of the cytochrome c-dependent NOR (cNOR) [Hino T, Matsumoto Y, Nagano S, Sugimoto H, Fukumori Y, et al. (2010) Structural basis o...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations reveal the protective role of cholesterol in β-amyloid protein-induced membrane disruptions in neuronal membrane mimics.
Interactions of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides with neuronal membranes have been associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the molecular details remain unclear. We used atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the interactions of Aβ(40) and Aβ(42) with model neuronal membranes. The differences between cholesterol-enriched and depleted lipid domains were inves...

polypeptides and rebinding of nonnative species in the central cavity of GroEL (reviewed by Fenton and HorFolding of proteins in a test tube is a private affair. wich, 1997). Protein folding in a cell is another matter entirely. In the For a number of years the predominant model for an complex milieu of the cell, the conditionsof temperature, in vivo protein folding pathway has been the sequent...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Cloud-based simulations on Google Exacycle reveal ligand modulation of GPCR activation pathways.
In the version of this Article originally published, Figure 4 displayed incorrectly drawn chemical structures for five of the ligands. The correct structures were, however, used in the calculations. The hemiaminal group previously depicted in compounds 2–4 should have been a β-amino alcohol, compound 7 contained an extra benzylic carbon and compound 8 had an extra ring. The corresponding PubChe...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations reveal multiple pathways of ligand dissociation from thyroid hormone receptors.
Nuclear receptor (NR) ligands occupy a pocket that lies within the core of the NR ligand-binding domain (LBD), and most NR LBDs lack obvious entry/exit routes upon the protein surface. Thus, significant NR conformational rearrangements must accompany ligand binding and release. The precise nature of these processes, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we utilize locally enhanced sampling ...
