Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction as a probe of protein structural dynamics
Hans Frauenfelder,Hans Frauenfelder,Gregory A. Petsko,Gregory A. Petsko,Gregory A. Petsko,Demetrius Tsernoglou,Demetrius Tsernoglou +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that X-ray diffraction can provide the spatial distribution of the dynamic features of a protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
The crystal structure of a post-synaptic neurotoxin from sea snake at 2.2 Å resolution
TL;DR: The crystal structure of a neurotoxin from the sea snake Laticauda semifasciata, a ‘short’ neurotoxin of 62 amino acids cross-linked by four disulfide bridges, is solved and it is concluded that this structure is common to all snake venom neurotoxins, and that the postsynaptic toxins act by inserting the loop into a cleft or channel in the acetylcholine receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of oxidized flavodoxin from Anacystis nidulans
Ward W. Smith,Katherine A. Pattridge,Martha L. Ludwig,Gregory A. Petsko,Demetrius Tsernoglou,Masaru Tanaka,Kerry T. Yasunobu +6 more
TL;DR: The structure of oxidized flavodoxin from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans has been determined at 2.5 A resolution with phases calculated from ethylmercury phosphate and dimercuriacetate derivatives and the determination of partial sequences, including a total of 85 residues, has assisted in the interpretation of the electron density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of elastase-substrate complex at -55 °C
TL;DR: The structure of a specific acyl-enzyme intermediate in the elastase-catalysed hydrolysis of N-carbobenzoxy-L-alanyl-p-nitrophenol ester has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 3.5 A resolution as discussed by the authors.
ComponentDOI
Structure and Function of Snake Venom Curarimimetic Neurotoxins
TL;DR: The results of crystallographic determination of the structure of the neurotoxin suggest that such an ion pair can form at the tip of the "toxic loop" and may be involved in inhibition of the cholinergic receptor.
