Dynamics and Chemical Shielding in a Small Protein from NMR Spin Relaxation Experiments
(2006-08-04)
NMR spin relaxation spectroscopy is a proven method for characterization of the time-scales and amplitudes of intramolecular motions in proteins. In a typical NMR relaxation experiment, the significant contributions to ...
Barrier Heights and Diffusion Coefficients in Protein Folding
(2007-08-03)
A widely held view with respect to the folding of single-domain proteins is that they are two-state. In other words, it is seemingly sufficient to invoke just two thermodynamic macrostates - folded and unfolded - to explain ...
Characterization of TATA Box Binding Protein Interaction with Minicircle DNA
(2005-10-05)
Protein-induced bending of DNA plays an important role in regulating its transcription, replication, recombination, and packaging into nucleosomes. In particular, many general and gene-specific transcription factors bend ...
DENSITY FUNCTIONAL CALCULATIONS OF BACKBONE 15N CHEMICAL SHIELDINGS IN PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS
(2009)
In this dissertation, we describe computational and theoretical study of backbone 15N chemical shieldings in peptides and proteins. Comprehensive density functional calculations have been performed on systems of different ...
SINGLE MOLECULE FLUORESCENCE INVESTIGATION OF PROTEIN FOLDING
(2008-09-30)
In addition to the well known two-state folding scenario, the energy landscape theory of protein folding predicts the possibility of downhill folding under native conditions. This intriguing prediction was extended by ...
