Abstract:
The twenty amino acids are chemical compounds having two functional groups (carboxyl:-COOH, amine:-NH2) and an asymmetric carbon (except glycine). They are amphoteric and can exist as zwitterion. Because of the reactivity of amino acids (esterification, amidation, N-alkylisation, N-arylation, protonation), and their conformation (aliphatic, aromatic) chemical, properties (acid, base, and / or hydroxylated, solubility), and physical properties (absorbance, NLO), our laboratory contribute to the study (synthesis and X ray single crystal structures) of new organic-inorganic hybrid compounds which

Comparison of homologous structure models is a key step in analyzing protein structure.

Abstract:
This study examined the formation of nanofiber hydrogels at neutral pH for 16 types of peptides with different net charges, hydrophobicities, and degrees of polymerization. The peptides formed various hydrogels depending on the arrangement of charged amino acids in the antiparallelβ-sheet structure. Circular dichroism (CD) measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), visible light spectroscopy, and dynamic viscoelasticity measurement showed that the formation of transparent nanofiber hydrogels in peptides requires at least 2 additional positively or negatively charged amino acids per peptide.

Abstract:
A number of biotechnology applications are based on protein design. For this design, the relationship between a protein’s primary structure and its conformation is of vital importance. A β-sheet is a common feature of a protein’s two-dimensional structure; therefore, elucidating the principles governing β-sheet structure and its stability is critical for understanding the protein-folding process. In the three-dimensional representation of protein molecules, C α carbon coordinates (carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group) have often been employed instead of the complete set of

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Potato virus A (PVA) particles were bombarded with thermally activated tritium atoms, and the intramolecular distribution of the label in the amino acids of the coat protein was determined to assess their in situ steric accessibility. This method revealed that the N-terminal 15 amino acids of the PVA coat protein and a region comprising amino acids 27 to 50 are the most accessible at the particle surface to labeling with tritium atoms. A model of the spatial arrangement of the PVA coat protein polypeptide chain within the virus particle was derived from the experimental data obtained

Abstract:
Human Top1 (topoisomerase I) relaxes supercoiled DNA during cell division and transcription. Top1 is composed of 765 amino acids and contains an unstructured N-terminal domain of 200 amino acids, and a structured functional domain of 565 amino acids that binds and relaxes supercoiled DNA. In the present study we examined the region spanning the junction of the N-terminal domain and functional domain (junction region). Analysis of several published Top1 structures revealed that three tryptophan residues formed a network of aromatic stacking interactions and electrostatic interactions that ancho

Cell growth inhibition by severald-amino acids can be explained by anin vivoproduction ofd-aminoacyl-tRNA molecules.Escherichia coliand yeast cells express an enzyme,d-Tyr-tRNATyrdeacylase, capable of recycling suchd-aminoacyl-tRNA molecules into free tRNA andd-amino acid. Accordingly, upon inactivation of the genes of the above deacylases, the toxicity ofd-amino acids increases. Orthologs of the deacylase are found in many cells. In this study, the crystallographic structure of dimericE. colid-Tyr-tRNATyrdeacylase at 1.55 Å resolution is reported. The structure corresponds to a β-barrel close

Mutations in numerous genes which encode for voltage-gated sodium channels give rise to various epilepsy syndromes in humans. Our research investigation mainly focuses on the identification of the integral membrane protein of the SCN1A (Sodium Voltage-Gated Channel Alpha Subunit 1) in humans. Secondary, we focus on the transmembrane membrane (TP) amino acids directly involved in the epilepsy-involved mutated regions. Using Insilico protocols, we identify the TP proteins and amino acids and elucidate the Transmembrane Helix and the inside and outside amino acids regions of the SCN1A. With the h

Molecular salts and cocrystals of amino acids have potential applications as molecular materials with nonlinear optical, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and other various target physical properties. The wide choice of amino acids and coformers makes it possible to design various crystal structures. The amino acid–maleic acid system provides a perfect example of a rich variety of crystal structures with different stoichiometries, symmetries and packing motifs built from the molecular building blocks, which are either exactly the same, or differ merely by protonation or as optical isomers.

ABSTRACT Five domains of antigenic importance were previously mapped on the nucleocapsid protein (N) of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), and a domain comprised of the 11 C-terminal-most amino acids (residues 112 to 123) was shown to be essential for binding of N-specific conformation-dependent monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). In the present study, the importance of individual residues within this C-terminal domain for antigenicity was investigated using eight different mutant constructs of N expressed in HeLa cells.

Abstract:
Trichohyalin is a highly expressed protein within the inner root sheath of hair follicles and is similar, or identical, to a protein present in the hair medulla. In situ hybridization studies have shown that trichohyalin is a very early differentiation marker in both tissues and that in each case the trichohyalin mRNA is expressed from the same single copy gene. A partial cDNA clone for sheep trichohyalin has been isolated and represents approximately 40% of the full-length trichohyalin mRNA. The carboxy-terminal 458 amino acids of trichohyalin are encoded, and the first 429 amino acids consis

These UAAs were genetically incorporated into sfGFP in a solvent-exposed loop region and/or a partially buried site on the β-barrel of the protein. The crystal structures containing the UAAs at these two sites permit the structural implications of UAA incorporation for the native protein structure to be assessed with high resolut
