Abstract

The solution structure of a recombinant form of cytochrome b5 containing 104 amino acid residues has been determined using three-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Using protein enriched in 15N the majority of the polypeptide backbone resonances have been assigned to reveal numerous chemical shift differences to those reported previously for smaller fragments of cytochrome b5. By using 3D NMR methods the extensive spectral overlap of resonance cross-peaks in 2D NMR spectra could be satisfactorily resolved. The large number of sequence-specific assignments made for this form of the protein allowed the identification of over 1130 NOEs, giving an average of 14 NOEs per assigned residue, and 52 dihedral angles (phi). This data was used in an ab initio simulated annealing protocol to determine the solution structure for bovine microsomal cytochrome b5. A series of 50 structures was generated using distance restraints derived from the magnitude of the NOE and torsional angles based on the measured JHN-HA coupling constants. From an initial round of simulated annealing a family of 36 structures was selected on the basis of good covalent geometry and minimal restraint violations. A single cycle of simulated annealing refinement produced 36 ...Continue Reading

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.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

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.
