PTPA, an essential and specific activator of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), functions as a peptidyl prolyl isomerase (PPIase). We present here the crystal structures of human PTPA and of the two yeast orthologs (Ypa1 and Ypa2), revealing an all α-helical p ...
Despite of considerable progress in the research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, neurodegenerative diseases affect more and more seriously our ageing population and remain a real therapeutic challenge for researcher. Nevertheless, adva ...
Intrachain diffusion processes play an important role in protein folding and function. In this chapter we discuss the application of triplet-triplet energy transfer to directly measure rate constants for intrachain contact formation in polypeptide chains. ...
Aspects of conformational transitions, folding, and misfolding of peptides and proteins have recently taken center stage in various domains at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine because of their impact on protein misfolding diseases. Due to ...
We report on the origin of the liquid-to-glass transition in a series of oligopeptides of γ -benzyl-L-glutamate up to the polymer (PBLG), and in Poly-Z-L-lysine (PZLL) and Polyglycine (PGly) using dielectric spectroscopy as a function of temperature and pr ...
The central region of the matrix protein p17 of HIV-1 is known to be essential during virus assembly. We substituted alanines for amino acid triplets in this region of p17 (amino acid residues 47 to 55: NPG LLE TSE). Introduction of the respective mutation ...
To better understand the complex photophysics of the amino acid tryptophan, which is widely used as a probe of protein structure and dynamics, we have measured electronic spectra of protonated, gas-phase tryptophan solvated with a controlled number of wate ...
A detailed characterization of the time scales and mechanisms by which RNA molecules change their folding structure upon binding of metabolites or during catalysis is important for the understanding of the different biological functions of RNA. The folding ...
Protein microarrays are an attractive approach for the high-throughput analysis of protein function, but their impact on proteomics has been limited by the technical difficulties associated with their generation. Here we demonstrate that fusion proteins of ...
InterPro, an integrated documentation resource of protein families, domains and functional sites, was created to integrate the major protein signature databases. Currently, it includes PROSITE, Pfam, PRINTS, ProDom, SMART, TIGRFAMs, PIRSF and SUPERFAMILY. ...
