Metalloprotein Folding

Inorganic Chemistry, 2004
One of the most intriguing problems in the biological sciences is the question of how to predict protein structure and function based on knowledge of a gene sequence. While significant progress has been made toward this goal during the past decade, fundamental challenges remain, such as understanding important post-translational modifications.

Design of functional metalloproteins [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2009
Metalloproteins catalyse some of the most complex and important processes in nature, such as photosynthesis and water oxidation. An ultimate test of our knowledge of how metalloproteins work is to design new metalloproteins. Doing so not only can reveal hidden structural features that may be missing from studies of native metalloproteins and their ...

Metalloprotein design

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996
The rational design of novel proteins offers a new method of studying structure and function, and makes possible the construction of new biomaterials. The richness of metal chemistry, the relative ease of creating stable complexes, and the remarkable degree of subtle, highly specific control of reactivity imposed by the protein matrix upon the metal ...

Paramagnetic Metalloproteins

2013
Paramagnetic metalloproteins are proteins containing one or more paramagnetic metal ions, which are characterized by the presence of at least one unpaired electron. As in every molecule, unpaired electrons sizably perturb the NMR parameters relative to the protein nuclei, changing their relaxation, chemical shift, and motional averaging so that ...

NMR Spectroscopy of Paramagnetic Metalloproteins

ChemBioChem, 2005
AbstractThis article deals with the solution structure determination of paramagnetic metalloproteins by NMR spectroscopy. These proteins were believed not to be suitable for NMR investigations for structure determination until a decade ago, but eventually novel experiments and software protocols were developed, with the aim of making the approach ...

Metalloproteins in the evolution of photosynthesis

Biosystems, 1981
Certain metalloproteins are common to all photosynthetic electron transfer chains. These include soluble proteins such as ferredoxins and cytochromes of the c2 type, and membrane-bound components such as cytochrome b, c1 and the Rieske iron-sulphur protein.

Predicting cracks in metalloproteins

Nature Machine Intelligence, 2019
Loss-of-function mutations in metal-binding proteins are heavily implicated with numerous diseases, and identifying such ‘cracks’ will be valuable to biologists and medical doctors in the study and treatment of disease. A deep learning approach has been developed to tackle this challenging task.

Metalloproteins and neuronal death

Metallomics, 2010
Neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease that are very common and other diseases that are notorious but occur less often such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In each case a protein is closely linked to the pathology of these diseases. These proteins include alpha-synuclein, the prion protein and Aβ.

Metalloproteins and metal sensing

Nature, 2009
Almost half of all enzymes must associate with a particular metal to function. An ambition is to understand why each metal-protein partnership arose and how it is maintained. Metal availability provides part of the explanation, and has changed over geological time and varies between habitats but is held within vital limits in cells.
