Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of intracellular pH by 31P magnetic resonance.
Richard B. Moon,John H. Richards +1 more
TL;DR: Observation of the ^(31)P signal from various intracellular phosphates can provide a convenient, nondestructive technique for determining intrace cellular conditions such as pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
A chemically synthesized pre-sequence of an imported mitochondrial protein can form an amphiphilic helix and perturb natural and artificial phospholipid bilayers.
TL;DR: It is suggested that Amphiphilic helicity appears to be a general feature of mitochondrial pre‐sequences that plays a crucial role in transporting proteins into mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tryptophan-Accelerated Electron Flow Through Proteins
Crystal Shih,Anna Katrine Museth,Malin Abrahamsson,Ana María Blanco-Rodríguez,Angel J. Di Bilio,Jawahar Sudhamsu,Brian R. Crane,Kate L. Ronayne,Michael Towrie,Antonín Vlček,John H. Richards,Jay R. Winkler,Harry B. Gray +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, transient optical and infrared spectroscopic experiments were conducted to quantify the extent to which an intervening tryptophan residue can facilitate electron transfer between distant metal redox centers in a mutant Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Tunneling in Proteins: Coupling Through a β Strand
TL;DR: In this paper, the intramolecular electron transfer (ET) rates in ruthenium-modified derivatives of the beta barrel blue copper protein Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphiphilicity is essential for mitochondrial presequence function.
David Roise,Franziska Theiler,Suzanna J. Horvath,John M. Tomich,John H. Richards,Daniel S. Allison,Gottfried Schatz +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that a mitochondrial presequence peptide designed to be non‐amphiphilic is, in fact, highly amphiphilic as measured by its ability to insert into phospholipid monolayers and to disrupt phosphate vesicles.
