Abstract:
Ribitol (C5H12O5), an acyclic sugar alcohol, is present on mammalian α-dystroglycan as a component of O-mannose glycan. In this study, we examine the conformation and dynamics of ribitol by database analysis, experiments, and computational methods. Database analysis reveals that the anti-conformation (180°) is populated at the C3–C4 dihedral angle, while the gauche conformation (±60°) is seen at the C2–C3 dihedral angle. Such conformational asymmetry was born out in a solid-state 13C-NMR spectrum of crystalline ribitol, where C1 and C5 signals are unequal. On the other hand, solution 13C-NMR h

Self-propagating β-sheet–rich fibrillar protein aggregates, amyloid fibers, are often associated with cellular dysfunction and disease. Distinct amyloid conformations dictate different physiological consequences, such as cellular toxicity. However, the origin of the diversity of amyloid conformation remains unknown. Here, we suggest that altered conformational equilibrium in natively disordered monomeric proteins leads to the adaptation of alternate amyloid conformations that have different phenotypic effects.

The conformational properties of trypsin-like proteases and their zymogen forms remain controversial because of a lack of sufficient information on their free forms. Specifically, it is unclear whether the free protease is zymogen-like and shifts to its mature form upon a ligand-induced fit or exists in multiple conformations in equilibrium from which the ligand selects the optimal fit via conformational selection. Here we report the results of 19F NMR measurements that reveal the conformational properties of a protease and its zymogen precursor in the free form. Using the trypsin-like, clotti

Phosphorylation sites are hyperabundant in the eukaryotic disordered proteome, suggesting that conformational fluctuations play a major role in determining to what extent a kinase interacts with a particular substrate. In biophysical terms, substrate selectivity may be determined not just by the structural–chemical complementarity between the kinase and its protein substrates but also by the free energy difference between the conformational ensembles that are, or are not, recognized by the kinase. To test this hypothesis, we developed a statistical-thermodynamics-based informatics framework, w

DNA is a deformable molecule. The term “deformable” implies phenomena rooted in the collective behavior of many atoms, and a description based on concepts of continuum and statistical mechanics. Long DNA molecules are an excellent experimental system to study the equilibrium conformations and dynamics of long, flexible molecules. This chapter discusses the following: DNA melting, the zipper model, experimental melting curves, base pairing and base stacking as separate, Hamiltonian formulation of the zipper model, 2 × 2 model, nearest neighbor model, connection to nonlinear dynamics, linear and nonlinear elasticity of DNA, bending modulus and persistence length, measurements of DNA elasticity (short and long molecules), the Euler instability, and the DNA yield transition.

Abstract:
Liquid crystals (LCs) present a state of matter with properties—as the name suggests—intermediate between those of liquids and crystalline solids. Liquid-crystalline materials, as all liquids, cannot support shear stresses at static equilibrium. Their molecules are characterized by an anisotropy in the shape and/or intermolecular forces. Thus, there is the potential for the formation of a separate phase(s), called a “mesophase(s),” where a partial order arises in the molecular orientation and/or location, which extends over macroscopic distances. This partial long-range molecular order, reminiscent of (but not equivalent to) the perfect order of solid crystals, in addition to the material fluidity, is primarily responsible for the many properties which are inherent characteristics of liquid-crystalline phases, such as a rapid response to electric and magnetic fields, anisotropic optical and rheological properties, etc.—see, for examples, the reviews by Stephen and Straley [1974] and Jackson and Shaw [1991], the monographs by de Gennes [1974], Chandrasekhar [1977], and Vertogen and de Jeu [1988], and the edited volumes by Ciferri et al. [1982] and Ciferri [1991]. The variety of the liquid-crystalline macroscopic properties is such that trying to derive a theory capable of describing the principal liquid-crystalline dynamic characteristics can be a very frustrating task if one does not approach the issue in a systematic fashion. Characteristically, the main two theories that have been advanced over the last thirty years for the description of the liquid-crystalline flow behavior—the Leslie/ Ericksen (LE) theory and the Doi theory—are essentially models developed from a set theoretical frame work—continuum mechanics and molecular theory, respectively. Nevertheless, each one of these theories has a limited domain of application. The description of the dynamic liquid-crystalline behavior through the bracket formalism, as seen in this chapter, leads naturally to a single conformation tensor theory with an extended domain of validity. This conformation theory consistently generalizes both previous theories, which can be recovered from it as particular cases. This offers additional evidence that the wealth of inherent information in LCs can only be appropriately handled when pursued in a systematic, fundamental manner.

Abstract:
The pressure-jump relaxation technique is a convenient and interesting means of studying rapid reversible reactions of biological systems. According to the change in reaction volume that accompanies a biochemical process, a rapid pressure change Δp produces a relative equilibrium shift ΔK/K, which is given by ΔlnK = AK/K = — (ΔV°/RT) Δp, where ΔV° is the reaction volume change. If the pressure change has a very short transition time, then relaxation kinetic measurements near equilibrium are possible, allowing the elucidation of reaction mechanisms through the detection of eventual reaction intermediates and the characterization of elementary kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. Our reversible pressure-jump method described in this chapter is capable of producing a sharp pressure change of ±20MPa in less than 3 milliseconds allowing the determination of relaxation rates in the time range of several milliseconds to several minutes at any final pressure up to 400 MPa, and in any viscosity solution. This technique was employed to study the binding kinetics of camphor and its analogues to bacterial cytochrome P-450cam as functions of temperature, pressure, and viscosity. The results obtained are discussed in terms of conformational dynamics of the protein associated with the entry and the exist of water molecules and specific interactions of the substrate1 with the apolar residues in the active site of cytochrome P-450cam. The binding of ligands or substrates to proteins can exhibit multistate kinetic behavior similar to transient-stale enzyme kinetics and isomerizations of proteins. The underlying elementary reaction mechanisms can be elucidated by the use of rapid mixing techniques. Usually a reaction is initiated by mixing the reactants as rapidly as possible, and the approach to equilibrium is monitored. This method has been adapted to the study of enzyme reaction mechanisms under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure (Hui Bon Hoa &amp; Douzou, 1973; Balny et al., 1984). However, this approach is limited by the deadtime, the large amount of sample required, and difficulties in using the apparatus to study viscous solutions, such as Schlieren effects, caused by incomplete mixing in flow experiments. Relaxation techniques overcome these problems by the application of a physical perturbation to a system already at equilibrium.

Abstract:
Liquid crystals (LCs) may be divided into two subgroups: (1) lyotropic LCs, formed by mixing rigid rodlike molecules with a solvent, and (2) thermotropic LCs, formed by heating. One finds in the literature such terms as mesomorphs, mesoforms, mesomorphic states, and anisotropic liquids. The molecules in LCs have an orderly arrangement, and different orders of structures (nematic, smectic, or cholesteric structure) have been observed, as schematically shown in Figure 9.1. The kinds of molecules that form LCs generally possess certain common molecular features. The structural characteristics that determine the type of mesomorphism exhibited by various molecules have been reviewed. At present, our understanding of polymeric liquid crystals, often referred to as liquid-crystalline polymers (LCPs), is largely derived from studies of monomeric liquid crystals. However, LCPs may exhibit intrinsic differences from their monomeric counterparts because of the concatenation of monomers to form the chainlike macromolecules. The linkage of monomers inevitably means a loss of their translational and orientational independence, which in turn profoundly affects the dynamics of polymers in the liquid state. These intramolecular structural constraints are expressed in the flexibility of the polymer chain. Generally speaking, the chemical constitution of the monomer determines the flexibility and equilibrium dimensions of the polymer chain (Gray 1962). Figure 9.2 illustrates the variability of chain conformation (flexible chain, semiflexible chain, and rigid rodlike chain) forming macromolecules. Across this spectrum of chain flexibility, the persistence in the orientation of successive monomer units varies from the extreme of random orientation (flexible chains) to perfect order (the rigid rod). Hence, efforts have been made to synthesize LCPs that consist of rigid segments contributing to the formation of a mesophase and flexible segments contributing to the mobility of the entire macromolecule in the liquid state (Ober et al. 1984). From the point of view of molecular architecture, as schematically shown in Figure 9.3, two types of LCP have been developed: (1) main-chain LCPs (MCLCPs), having the monomeric liquid crystals (i.e., mesogenic group) in the main chain of flexible links, and (2) side-chain LCPs (SCLCPs), having the monomeric liquid crystals attached, as a pendent side chain, to the main chain.
