Protein Diffusion in the Membrane01:24

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane

6.4K
Proteins show rotational as well as lateral diffusion across the membrane. The lateral diffusion of proteins was confirmed through the cell fusion experiment where mouse and human cells were fused, resulting in hybrid cells. When the human and mouse cells fused, the specific membrane proteins on human and mouse cells were marked with the red and green-fluorescent markers, respectively. Initially, the red and green fluorescence was located on the respective hemisphere of the cell. As time...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.9K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

12.8K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation

1.2K
Nuclear relaxation restores the equilibrium population imbalance and can occur via spin–lattice or spin–spin mechanisms, which are first-order exponential decay processes.
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...

    Area of Science:

    • Structural Biology
    • Biophysics
    • Protein Dynamics

    Background:

    • Proteins utilize large-scale domain dynamics, facilitated by flexible linkers, for functional mechanisms such as substrate binding and product release.
    • The 'induced fit' model is being refined by newer theories incorporating protein flexibility and internal dynamics.
    • Slow domain dynamics are increasingly recognized as essential for a comprehensive understanding of protein function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate large-scale domain fluctuations in proteins.
    • To demonstrate how protein structure and dynamics can be assessed using neutron scattering techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing Neutron Spin Echo Spectroscopy (NSE) to probe timescales from 0.1 to hundreds of nanoseconds.
    • Employing Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to analyze length scales relevant to protein domain movements (several nanometers).

    Main Results:

    • NSE and SANS are effective in characterizing protein domain movements.
    • The study highlights the capability of these techniques to assess protein structure and dynamics at relevant length and time scales.

    Conclusions:

    • Large-scale domain dynamics play a significant role in protein function.
    • Neutron scattering techniques, particularly NSE, are powerful tools for studying these slow, large-scale motions in proteins.
