When proteins misfold, accumulate and clump around insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, they kill cells. Now, researchers, including University of Michigan biophysicists, have obtained a structural snapshot of these proteins ...

[NMR paper] A Pyrene-linked Cavity within a ?-Barrel Protein Promotes an Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reaction
A Pyrene-linked Cavity within a ?-Barrel Protein Promotes an Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reaction
A unique ?-expanded reaction cavity tethering a polycyclic moiety which provides a platform for substrate binding was constructed within the robust ?-barrel structure of nitrobindin (NB). NB variants with the cavities of different sizes and shapes are coupled with N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide (Pyr) to prepare a series of NB-Pyr conjugates. The orientation of the pyrene moiety is fixed within the cavity by the coupling reaction. The fluorescent quenching analysis of NB-Pyr indicates that azachalcone...

Lipid bilayer-bound conformation of an integral membrane beta barrel protein by multidimensional MAS NMR
Abstract
The human voltage dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC) is a 32Â*kDa β-barrel integral membrane protein that controls the transport of ions across the outer mitochondrial membrane. Despite the determination of VDAC solution and diffraction structures, a structural basis for the mechanism of its function is not yet fully understood. Biophysical studies suggest VDAC requires a lipid bilayer to achieve full function, motivating the need...

At low ionic strength, apoplastocyanin forms an unfolded state under non-denaturing conditions. The refolding of this state is sufficiently slow to allow real-time NMR experiments to be performed. Folding of apoplastocyanin, initiated by the addition of salt and followed by real-time 2D 1H-15N...
