  2. 16. Conformational Studies of Biologically Active Peptides

    Author : Björn Walse; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PapD chaperone; P pili; desmopressin; DDAVP; protein-peptide interactions; glycopeptides; peptide design; transferred NOE; molecular dynamics simulations; circular dichroism; peptide conformation; NMR spectroscopy; immunogenic glycopeptides; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : In this work conformational studies have been performed on peptides from four different systems in an attempt to gain knowledge about their biological function. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with distance geometry and restrained molecular dynamics simulations were the methods used.

  4. 17. Protein Dynamics Studied by NMR. Kinetics of the Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein and Oligomerisation of the Low Molecular Weight Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase

    Author : Tomas Åkerud; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) has been used to determine the kinetics of ligand binding to the adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP), as well as the oligomerisation and inter- and intramolecular dynamics of the low molecular weight-protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) in solution. NMR spectroscopy is sensitive to dynamic processes on timescales ranging from picoseconds to days. READ MORE

  5. 18. Membrane mediated aggregation of amyloid-β protein : a potential key event in Alzheimer's disease

    Author : Marcus Bokvist; Gerhard Gröbner; Göran Lindblom; Lena Mäler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s Disease; Aβ40; Circular Dichroism; NMR; Amyloids; Crowding; Peptide-Lipid Interaction; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common senile dementia, is a complex process. A crucial event in AD is the aggregation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ), a cleavage product from the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). READ MORE

  6. 19. Protein structure dynamics and interplay : by single-particle electron microscopy

    Author : Hans Elmlund; Hans Hebert; José Maria Carazo; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biophysics; biochemistry; molecular; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a method capable of obtaining information about the structural organization and dynamics of large macromolecular assemblies. In the late nineties, the method was suggested to have the potential of generating “atomic resolution” reconstructions of particles above a certain mass. READ MORE

  7. 20. On the quantitative analysis of electronic energy transfer/migration in proteins studied by fluorescence spectroscopy

    Author : Mikael Isaksson; Lennart Johansson; Bo Albinsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biophysical Chemistry; Biophysical chemistry; Biofysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Two recently developed theories of electronic energy transfer/migration were for the first time applied to real protein systems for extracting molecular distances. The partial donor-donor energy migration (PDDEM) is an extension to the previously developed donor-donor energy migration (DDEM, F Bergström et al PNAS 96, 1999, 12477) which allows using chemically identical but photophysically different fluorophores in energy migration experiments.
