The rapid growing number of patients diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease and more particularly with Alzheimer's disease (AD) has stimulated intensive research in determining and understanding biological phenomena causing such devastating diseases an ...
We perform a replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation corresponding to a 2.8 mu s total time for the extensive enhanced sampling of the conformational space of the C-terminal part (residues 124-226) of the mouse prion protein (PrP); 1.3% of the confo ...
Slow dynamic processes, such as biomolecular folding/unfolding, macromolecular diffusion, etc., can be conveniently monitored by solution-state two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectroscopy, provided the inverse of their rate constants does not exceed the nuclear ...
Elucidating the fine structure of amyloid fibrils as well as understanding their processes of nucleation and growth remains a difficult yet essential challenge, directly linked to our current poor insight into protein misfolding and aggregation diseases. H ...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have increasingly contributed to the understanding of biomolecular processes, allowing for predictions of thermodynamic and structural properties. Unfortunately, the holy grail of protein structure prediction was soon fo ...
The distinct conformational dependence of chemical shifts caused by R-helices and β-sheets renders NMR chemical shift analysis a powerful tool for the structural determination of proteins. However, the time scale of NMR experiments can make a secondary str ...
We introduce and discuss a novel approach called back-calculation for analyzing force spectroscopy experiments on multimodular proteins. The relationship between the histograms of the unfolding forces for different peaks, corresponding to a different numbe ...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers many ways to investigate dynamic properties of molecules. A wide variety of experimental techniques can probe molecular dynamics on time scales that range from 10-12 to 103 seconds. Many lines of evidenc ...
Multiple quantum relaxation in proteins reveals unexpected relationships between correlated or anti-correlated conformational backbone dynamics in alpha-helices or beta-sheets. The contributions of conformational exchange to the relaxation rates of C'N coh ...
In order to relate the conformational dynamics of the hammerhead ribozyme to its biological function the cleavage reaction catalyzed by the hammerhead ribozyme was monitored by time-resolved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For this purpose, ...
