Is polyproline II a major backbone conformation in unfolded proteins?

Z Shi, RW Woody, NR Kallenbach - Advances in protein chemistry, 2002 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary Protein folding is a process by which a polypeptide chain acquires its
native structure from an unfolded state through a transition state. Recent studies of the …

Role of cofactors in metalloprotein folding

CJ Wilson, D Apiyo… - Quarterly reviews of …, 2004 - cambridge.org
Metals are commonly found as natural constituents of proteins. Since many such metals can
interact specifically with their corresponding unfolded proteins in vitro, cofactor-binding prior …

Intrinsic disorder in measles virus nucleocapsids

MR Jensen, G Communie… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The genome of measles virus is encapsidated by multiple copies of the nucleoprotein (N),

Coupled prediction of protein secondary and tertiary structure

J Meiler, D Baker - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
The strong coupling between secondary and tertiary structure formation in protein folding is
neglected in most structure prediction methods. In this work we investigate the extent to …

Thermodynamics and kinetics of non-native interactions in protein folding: a single point mutant significantly stabilizes the N-terminal domain of L9 by modulating non …

JH Cho, S Sato, DP Raleigh - Journal of molecular biology, 2004 - Elsevier
Comparatively little is known about the role of non-native interactions in protein folding and
their role in both folding and stability is controversial. We demonstrate that non-native …

Understanding the mechanism of β-hairpin folding via ϕ-value analysis

D Du, MJ Tucker, F Gai - Biochemistry, 2006 - ACS Publications
The folding kinetics of a 16-residue β-hairpin (trpzip4) and five mutants were studied by a
laser-induced temperature-jump infrared method. Our results indicate that mutations which …

Energetically significant networks of coupled interactions within an unfolded protein

JH Cho, W Meng, S Sato, EY Kim… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Unfolded and partially unfolded proteins participate in a wide range of biological processes

Tracking multiple genomic elements using correlative CRISPR imaging and sequential DNA FISH

J Guan, H Liu, X Shi, S Feng, B Huang - Biophysical journal, 2017 - cell.com
Live imaging of genome has offered important insights into the dynamics of the genome
organization and gene expression. The demand to image simultaneously multiple genomic …

The denatured state of engrailed homeodomain under denaturing and native conditions

U Mayor, JG Grossmann, NW Foster… - Journal of molecular …, 2003 - Elsevier
Protein folding starts from the elusive form of the denatured state that is present under
conditions that favour the native state. We have studied the denatured state of Engrailed …

Role of cofactors in folding of the blue-copper protein azurin

P Wittung-Stafshede - Inorganic chemistry, 2004 - ACS Publications
Many proteins in living cells coordinate cofactors, such as metal ions, to attain their activity.
Since the cofactors in such cases often can interact with their corresponding unfolded …
