Conformational transitions have found broad interest due to their impact on protein misfolding and self-assembly as key events leading to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, investigation of these dynamic events has been limited so far ...
Incorrect folding of proteins, leading to aggregation and amyloid formation, is associated with a group of degenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and late onset diabetes. Amyloid forming proteins are believed to be mainly α-helical in their na ...
Conformational transitions of peptides and proteins have recently moved to the center of interest in various domains of research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine due to their implication in an increasing number of diseases in which the ...
Limited searching in the conformational space is one of the major obstacles for investigating protein dynamics by numerical approaches. For this reason, classical all-atom mol. dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins tend to be confined to local energy min., ...
Experience has shown that protein redesigns (using the backbone from a known protein structure) are far more likely to produce well-ordered, native-like structures than are true de novo designs. Therefore, to design a four-helix bundle made of identical sh ...
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 ...
A novel concept for triggering conformational transitions, and thus changes in structure and function, in peptides with a switching element S provides intriguing perspectives for studying mol. processes that play a key role, for example, in early events of ...
The conformational analysis of a series of configurational isomers of 2-(hydroxymethyl)azepan-3,4,5,6-tetrols 1-4 has been carried out. H-1 NMR spectroscopic data, especially vicinal J couplings and nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOE), assisted by molecu ...
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 present mol. dynamics simulations of bovine rhodopsin in a membrane mimetic environment based on the recently refined x-ray structure of the pigment. The interactions between the protonated Schiff base and the protein moiety are explored both with the c ...
