Identification of Substrates of Cytoplasmic Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans Isomerases and Their Collective Essentiality in Escherichia Coli
PublikacjaProtein folding often requires molecular chaperones and folding catalysts, such as peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIs). The Escherichia coli cytoplasm contains six well-known PPIs, although a requirement of their PPIase activity, the identity of their substrates and relative enzymatic contribution is unknown. Thus, strains lacking all periplasmic and one of the cytoplasmic PPIs were constructed. Measurement of their PPIase...

Właściwości otoczki hydratacyjnej wokół różnych konformacji poliseryny - analiza wyników dynamiki molekularnej
PublikacjaRozpuszczalnik w istotny sposób wpływa na preferencje peptydu do przyjmowania określonej struktury drugorzędowej. Przykładem tego może być fakt, iż w przypadku polialaniny stabilność konformacji helikalnej w wodzie jest niższa aniżeli w próżni, podczas gdy w przypadku poliseryny mamy do czynienia ze zjawiskiem odwrotnym. W celu lepszego zrozumienia tego zjawiska badano właściwości otoczek hydratacyjnych dookoła czterech konformacji...
