Lysozyme nature

Figure 2. (a) The amino acid sequence of the enzyme lysozyme (from egg white). Blocks enclosing two cysteines (Cys) denote intramolecular covalent cross-links (disulfide bonds). This molecule in crystalline form has the three-dimensional structure sketched in part (b). Note the helical subdomains and sheet substructures formed by nearby extended segments.

Lysozyme. — Natural abundance n.m.r. spectroscopic studies have been reported for native lysozyme, lysozyme in solution with Gd ", La, Eu, Pr ", and Co, and lysozyme modified by treatment with iodine at pH 5.5. It was possible in the case of the chemically modified enzyme to assign certain resonances to specific residues in the molecule.

Figure 17.4 Melting temperatures, Tm, of engineered single-, double-, and tripledisulfide-containing mutants of T4 lysozyme relative to wild-type lysozyme. The red bars show the differences in Tm values of the oxidized and reduced forms of the mutant lysozymes. The green bars for the multiple-bridged proteins correspond to the sum of the differences in Tm values for the constituent single-bridged lysozymes. (Adapted from M. Matsumura et al..

In order to make an effective use of the VB formulation we have to calibrate the relevant parameters using reliable experimental information. The most important task is to obtain the relevant a-. Since the a s represent the energy of forming the different configurations in the gas phase at infinite separation between the given fragments, it is natural to try to obtain them from gas-phase experiments. In the case of the catalytic reaction of lysozyme one can compile the relevant information from the available gas-phase experiments (Table 6.1) and use it to determine the a s.

The effect of pH on the protein adsorption on CMK-3 was also investigated [152], The monolayer adsorption capacities obtained under various pH conditions are plotted in Figure 4.12, where the maximum adsorption was observed in the pH region near the isoelectric point of lysozyme (pi of about 11). Near the isoelectric point, the net charges of the lysozyme molecule are minimized and would form the most compact assembly. A similar pH effect was also seen in the adsorption of cytochrome c on CM K-3. Although the nature of the surface of mesoporous silica and... 

Concerning the nature and structure of such amyloid peptide or protein channels, oligomers with annular morphologies have in fact been observed by EM for a-synuclein (Lashuel et al., 2002) and equine lysozyme (Malisauskas et al., 2003) even in the absence of any lipids or membranes. Channel-like structures have also been reconstituted in liposomes and observed by SFM for A/ i 4o, A/ j 42, human amylin, a-synuclein, ABri, ADan, and serum amyloid A (Fig. 5A Lin et al., 2001 Quist et al., 2005). Doughnut-shaped structures with a diameter of 10-12 nm and a central hole size of 1-2 nm (Fig. 5B) were imaged on top of lipid membranes (Quist et al., 2005). However, the radius of curvature of the SFM tips meant that it is not possible to say whether the pores were really traversing the lipid bilayer.
