Protein Complex Assembly

16.4K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

26.9K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Background:

  • Porous materials like MOFs, COFs, and SOFs are vital for catalysis, adsorption, and ion exchange.
  • Cucurbit[n]urils (Q[n]s) offer unique structural and electrostatic properties for building porous materials.
  • Q[n]s can form Q[n]-based supramolecular frameworks (QSFs) through guest interactions, metal coordination, or outer-surface interactions (OSIQ).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize QSFs assembled through outer-surface interactions (OSIQ).
  • To highlight the potential of QSFs in advancing Q[n] chemistry and materials science.
  • To explore the design principles for novel QSF structures with specific functionalities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on QSFs assembled via OSIQ.
  • Classification of QSFs based on the type of OSIQ (self-induced, anion-induced, aromatic-induced).
  • Analysis of structural and functional properties of different QSF types.

Main Results:

  • QSFs can be effectively assembled through various OSIQ mechanisms.
  • The review categorizes QSFs into three main types based on the OSIQ trigger.
  • The electrostatic properties of Q[n]s are key to their self-assembly into porous frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • QSFs assembled via OSIQ represent a promising area in supramolecular chemistry.
  • The rational design of QSFs can lead to materials with tailored structures and functions.
  • This research direction holds potential for developing advanced porous materials for diverse applications.
