¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

1.2K
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • Protein conformational transitions are vital for physiological functions.
  • Studying protein dynamics is challenging due to complex potential energy surfaces (PES).
  • The perturbation-response scanning (PRS) method was previously developed to identify key residues in protein communication networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for evaluating conformational transitions on the PES.
  • To study functionally relevant protein conformational transitions.
  • To integrate PRS results with steered molecular dynamics (sMD) simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel computational method combining PRS and sMD.
  • Applied the method to calmodulin, adenylate kinase, and bacterial ferric binding protein.
  • Evaluated the method's success and transferability across different protein systems.

Main Results:

  • The integrated PRS-sMD method successfully captures target protein conformations.
  • Identified key residues involved in conformational transitions.
  • Revealed optimal pathways with relatively low free energy profiles.

Conclusions:

  • The novel method effectively studies protein conformational transitions.
  • Provides insights into the mechanisms of functionally relevant protein motions.
  • Offers a valuable tool for modulating protein function through understanding dynamics.
