Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of a spin probe attached to cys-707 on myosin cross-bridges was used to monitor the orientation of the myosin catalytic domain at the beginning and end of the working power stroke in active muscle. Elevated concentrations

We have used the site-directed spectroscopies of time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) and double electron-electron resonance (DEER), combined with complementary molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to resolve the structure and dynamics of cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C), focusing on the

We have used a series of N-(1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolidinyl) maleimide spin labels of different length to label, covalently and selectively, the most reactive sulfhydryl groups of 70S ribosomal proteins of Escherichia coli. Under short periods of labeling (1--2 min), less than two
Exposed lysine residues of human IgG were modified by a spin-label, 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-male-imidopyrrolidine-1-oxyl at pH 9.2. Under these conditions, the degree of modification was about 10 lysine residues per protein molecule. The ESR spectrum of the spin-labeled immunoglobulin was much more
The M13 major coat protein has been extensively studied in detergent-based and phospholipid model systems to elucidate its structure. This resulted in an L-shaped model structure of the protein in membranes. An amphipathic alpha-helical N-terminal arm, which is parallel to
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
