Diffusion control in an elementary protein folding reaction

Abstract

The cold-shock protein CspB (from Bacillus subtilis), a very small protein of 67 residues, folds extremely fast in a reversible N &lrharr; U two-state reaction. Both unfolding and refolding are strongly decelerated when the viscosity of the solvent is increased by adding ethylene glycol or sucrose. The folding of CspB thus seems to follow Kramers' model for reactions in which the reactants must diffuse together. It indicates that the compaction of the protein chain occurs in the rate-limiting step of folding. Chain diffusion to a productively collapsed form and the crossing of a high energy barrier are thus tightly coupled in this folding reaction, and the measured reaction rate depends on both the diffusion of the protein chain in the solvent and the magnitude of the activation energy. We suggest that in protein folding an energetic barrier is essential to separate the native from the unfolded conformations of a protein. This barrier protects the ordered structure of a native protein against continuous unfolding by diffusive chain motions and leads to apparent two-state behavior.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
