Journal ArticleDOI

Cavities determine the pressure unfolding of proteins

TL;DR: The promise of pressure perturbation is illustrated as a unique tool for examining the roles of packing, conformational fluctuations, and water penetration as determinants of solution properties of proteins, and for detecting folding intermediates and other structural details of protein-folding landscapes that are invisible to standard experimental approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monomeric Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42 Peptides in Solution Adopt Very Similar Ramachandran Map Distributions That Closely Resemble Random Coil

TL;DR: The results suggest that the self-association of Aβ peptides into toxic oligomers is not driven by elevated propensities of the monomeric species to adopt β-strand-like conformations, and suggests that intermolecular interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the peptide dominate the aggregation process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homonuclear decoupling for enhancing resolution and sensitivity in NOE and RDC measurements of peptides and proteins.

TL;DR: Application of band-selective homonuclear (BASH) decoupling pulses during acquisition of the (1)H free induction decay is shown to be an efficient procedure for removal of scalar and residual dipolar couplings between amide and aliphatic protons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Size and Sequence and the Volume Change of Protein Folding

TL;DR: Examination of the effects of protein size and sequence on the value of ΔV(u) using as a model system a series of deletion variants of the ankyrin repeat domain of the Notch receptor provides strong evidence in support of the notion that the major contributing factor to pressure effects on proteins is their imperfect internal packing in the folded state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local unfolding of the HSP27 monomer regulates chaperone activity.

TL;DR: While HSP27 assembles into oligomers, it is shown that the monomers formed upon reduction are highly active chaperones in vitro, but are susceptible to self-aggregation.
