The molecular theory of polyelectrolyte solutions with applications to the electrostatic properties of polynucleotidesAlthough the importance of the polyelectrolyte character of DNA has been recognized for some time (Felsenfeld & Miles 1967), few of the implications have been explored, primarily because of a lag in translating the breakthroughs in polyelectrolyte theory of the last decade into a form that is well adapted to the analysis of the specialized problems of biophysical chemistry. Perhaps an ... ... hiện toàn bộ

The Hofmeister effect and the behaviour of water at interfacesSUMMARY Starting from known properties of non-specific salt effects on the surface tension at an air–water interface, we propose the first general, detailed qualitative molecular mechanism for the origins of ion-specific (Hofmeister) effects on the surfacepotential difference at an air–water interface; this mechanism suggests a simple model... ... hiện toàn bộ

Physical principles of membrane organizationMembranes are the most common cellular structures in both plants and animals. They are now recognized as being involved in almost all aspects of cellular activity ranging from motility and food entrapment in simple unicellular organisms, to energy transduction, immunorecognition, nerve conduction and biosynthesis in plants and higher organisms. This functional diversity is reflected in the... ... hiện toàn bộ

Hydrogen exchange and structural dynamics of proteins and nucleic acidsThough the structures presented in crystallographic models of macromolecules appear to possess rock-like solidity, real proteins and nucleic acids are not particularly rigid. Most structural work to date has centred upon the native state of macromolecules, the most probable macromolecular form. But the native state of a molecule is merely its most abundant form, certainly not its only form... ... hiện toàn bộ

Deuterium magnetic resonance: theory and application to lipid membranesProton and carbon-13 nmr spectra of unsonicated lipid bilayers and biological membranes are generally dominated by strong proton–proton and proton–carbon dipolar interactions. As a result the spectra contain a large number of overlapping resonances and are rather difficult to analyse. Nevertheless, important information on the structure and dynamic behaviour of lipid systems has been provi... ... hiện toàn bộ

Trifluoroethanol and colleagues: cosolvents come of age. Recent studies with peptides and proteinsAlcohol based cosolvents, such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) have been used for
many decades to denature proteins and to stabilize structures in peptides.
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and site directed mutagenesis have
recently made it possible to characterize the effects of TFE and of other
alcohols on polypeptide structure and dynamics at high resolution. This review
examines... ... hiện toàn bộ

The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) of respiratory chainsThe inner membranes of mitochondria contain three multi-subunit enzyme complexes that act successively to transfer electrons from NADH to oxygen, which is reduced to water (Fig. I). The first enzyme in the electron transfer chain, NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (or complex I), is the subject of this review. It removes electrons from NADH and passes them via a series of enzyme-bound redox c... ... hiện toàn bộ

Role of uncoupled and non-coupled oxidations in maintenance of safely low levels of oxygen and its one-electron reductantsAbstract To proceed at a high rate, phosphorylating respiration requires ADP to be available. In the resting state, when the energy consumption is low, the ADP concentration decreases so that phosphorylating respiration ceases. This may result in an increase in the intracellular concentrations of O2 as well as of one-electron O2... hiện toàn bộ

Membrane fusion proteins of enveloped animal virusesIn a living cell membrane-bound compartments are continuously either separated or united through fusion reactions, and literally thousands of such reactions take place every minute. The formation of membrane vesicles from pre-existing membranes, and their fusion with specific acceptor membranes, constitute a prerequisite for the transport of most impermeant molecules and macromolecules int... ... hiện toàn bộ
