متن کاملStructure and dynamics of the force-generating domain of myosin probed by multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance.
Spin-labeling and multifrequency EPR spectroscopy were used to probe the dynamic local structure of skeletal myosin in the region of force generation. Subfragment 1 (S1) of rabbit skeletal myosin was labeled with an iodoacetamide spin label at C707 (SH1). X- and W-band EPR spectra were recorded for the apo state and in the presence of ADP and nucleotide analogs. EPR spectra were analyzed in ter...
متن کاملMapping alpha-helical induced folding within the intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain of the measles virus nucleoprotein by site-directed spin-labeling EPR spectroscopy.
Using site-directed spin-labeling EPR spectroscopy, we mapped the region of the intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain of measles virus nucleoprotein (N(TAIL)) that undergoes induced folding. In addition to four spin-labeled N(TAIL) variants (S407C, S488C, L496C, and V517C) (Morin et al. (2006), J Phys Chem 110: 20596-20608), 10 new single-site cysteine variants were designed, purified from...
متن کاملExploring intrinsically disordered proteins using site-directed spin labeling electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy
Proteins are highly variable biological systems, not only in their structures but also in their dynamics. The most extreme example of dynamics is encountered within the family of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs), which are proteins lacking a well-defined 3D structure under physiological conditions. Among the biophysical techniques well-suited to study such highly flexible proteins, Site...
متن کاملUnraveling photoexcited conformational changes of bacteriorhodopsin by time resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
By means of time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, the photoexcited structural changes of site-directed spin-labeled bacteriorhodopsin are studied. A complete set of cysteine mutants of the C-D loop, positions 100-107, and of the E-F loop, including the first alpha-helical turns of helices E and F, positions 154-171, was modified with a methanethiosulfonate spin label...
