One hundred‐fold acceleration of DNA renaturation rates in solutionBiopolymers - Tập 20 Số 7 - Trang 1537-1547 - 1981
Robert Wieder, James G. Wetmur
AbstractSolvents which accelerate DNA renaturation rates have been investigated.
Addition of NaCl or LiCl to DNA in 2.4M Et4NCl initially increases renaturation
rates at 45°C and then leads to a loss of second‐order behavior. The greatest
accelerations are seen with LiCl and dilute DNA. Volume exclusion by dextran
sulfate is the most effective method of accelerating DNA renaturation with
concentra... hiện toàn bộ
Excluded volume as a determinant of macromolecular structure and reactivityBiopolymers - Tập 20 Số 10 - Trang 2093-2120 - 1981
Allen P. Minton
AbstractThe effect of excluded volume on the thermodynamic activity of globular
macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in solution is studied in the
hard‐particle approximation. Activity coefficients are calculated as a function
of the fraction of total volume occupied by macromolecules using relations
obtained from scaled particle and lattice models. Significant and readily
observable effect... hiện toàn bộ
Poly(L‐lysyl‐L‐alanyl‐α‐L‐glutamic acid). II. Conformational studiesBiopolymers - Tập 16 Số 7 - Trang 1527-1540 - 1977
H. Joseph Goren, Carl R. McMillin, A. G. Walton
AbstractThe solution characterization of poly(Lys‐Ala‐Glu) is described. This
polytripeptide is zwitterionic at neutral pH and is shown to take on a
conformation which is dictated by the state of ionization, molecular weight,
temperature, and solvent. The polypeptide is almost entirely α‐helical at low pH
and temperature for polymers of greater than 25,000 molecular weight. Melting
profiles for th... hiện toàn bộ
Gaussian docking functionsBiopolymers - Tập 68 Số 1 - Trang 76-90 - 2003
Mark McGann, Harold R. Almond, Anthony Nicholls, Jennifer Grant, Frank J. Schoenen
AbstractA shape‐based Gaussian docking function is constructed which uses
Gaussian functions to represent the shapes of individual atoms. A set of 20
trypsin ligand–protein complexes are drawn from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), the
ligands are separated from the proteins, and then are docked back into the
active sites using numerical optimization of this function. It is found that by
employing this... hiện toàn bộ
Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy: An emerging tool for the study of peptide–membrane interactionsBiopolymers - Tập 66 Số 1 - Trang 3-18 - 2002
Henriette Mozsolits, Marie‐Isabel Aguilar
AbstractThe interactions between peptides and membranes mediate a wide variety
of biological processes, and characterization of the molecular details of these
interactions is central to our understanding of cellular events such as protein
trafficking, cellular signaling and ion‐channel formation. A wide variety of
biophysical techniques have been combined with the use of model membrane systems
to ... hiện toàn bộ
Conformational transitions of a dipeptide in water: Effects of imposed pathways using umbrella sampling techniquesBiopolymers - Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 347-355 - 1994
Franca Fraternali, Wilfred F. van Gunsteren
AbstractThe free energy difference between two states of a molecular system
separated by an energy barrier can generally be computed using the technique of
umbrella sampling along a chosen reaction coordinate or pathway. The effect of a
particular choice of pathway upon the obtained free energy difference is
investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of a model system consisting of a
glycine di... hiện toàn bộ
