Detergent Purification of Membrane Proteins01:18

Detergent Purification of Membrane Proteins

6.3K
Detergents are used to purify the integral proteins of the membrane. The hydrophobic portion of the detergent can replace membrane phospholipids while solubilizing the membrane proteins. When detergent monomers reach a specific concentration in a solution called critical micelle concentration (CMC), they form micelles. Above CMC, the concentration of the detergent monomers remains in equilibrium with the micelle. The number of detergent monomers present in the CMC varies for each detergent, and...

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.5K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Protein and Protein Structure

87.0K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.1K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Porous materials are crucial for efficient separation processes.
  • Glycopolymers offer specific molecular recognition capabilities.
  • Developing novel materials for selective protein adsorption is essential in biotechnology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize porous glycopolymers (glycomonoliths) for protein adsorption and separation.
  • To investigate the influence of porogen type on the porous structure (pore diameter, surface area).
  • To evaluate the protein binding capabilities of glycomonoliths in different systems.

Main Methods:

  • Radical polymerization-induced phase separation using an α-mannose acrylamide derivative, acrylamide, and cross-linker.
  • Utilizing porogenic alcohols to control porous structure.
  • Protein adsorption studies using batch and continuous flow systems.
  • Characterization of pore diameter and surface area.

Main Results:

  • Glycomonoliths exhibited controlled pore size and surface area based on alcohol porogen.
  • Specific adsorption of concanavalin A (a sugar recognition protein) was observed.
  • Non-specific protein adsorption was minimal.
  • Protein adsorption capacity correlated with sugar density and glycomonolith composition.

Conclusions:

  • Porous glycomonoliths are effective for selective protein separation.
  • Material properties can be tuned by controlling the polymerization and porogen selection.
