(American Chemical Society, 2009-05-05)Lipid monolayers of L-α-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) are used to pattern substrates using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. Lipid monolayers are deposited onto a freshly cleaved mica surface or glass capillary ... -
Isotope Effects and Temperature Dependences in the Action of the Glucose Dehydrogenase of the Mesophilic Bacterium Bacillus megaterium
(Wiley, 2013-12-01)The glucose dehydrogenase of the mesophilic bacterium Bacillus megaterium (optimal growth around 35 °C) exhibits non-linear Eyring temperature dependences from 25 to 55 °C in its catalysis of the oxidation by hydride-transfer ... -
Partial cooperative unfolding in proteins as observed by hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01-01)Many proteins do not exist in a single rigid conformation. Protein motions, or dynamics, exist and in many cases are important for protein function. The analysis of protein dynamics relies on biophysical techniques that ... -
Methods development for Analysis of Partially Deglycosylated Proteins and Application to an HIV Envelope Protein Vaccine Candidate
(Elsevier, 2011-08)The work presented herein describes the first comprehensive analysis of a partially deglycosylated HIV vaccine candidate envelope protein (Env). The Env, JRFL gp140 ΔCF, with 27 potential glycosylation sites, was partially ... -
MAPping the Chiral Inversion and Structural Transformation of a Metal-Tripeptide Complex having Ni-SOD Activity
(American Chemical Society, 2011-03-21)The metal abstraction peptide (MAP) tag is a tripeptide sequence capable of abstracting a metal ion from a chelator and binding it with extremely high affinity at neutral pH. Initial studies on the nickel-bound form of the ... -
Embedding the Ni-SOD mimetic Ni-NCC within a polypeptide sequence alters specificity of the reaction pathway
(American Chemical Society, 2013-01-07)The unique metal abstracting peptide (MAP) asparagine-cysteine-cysteine (NCC) binds nickel in a square planar 2N:2S geometry and acts as a mimic of the enzyme nickel superoxide dismutase (Ni-SOD). The Ni-NCC tripeptide ... -
Controlling the Chiral Inversion Reaction of the Metallopeptide Ni-Asparagine-Cysteine-Cysteine with Dioxygen
(American Chemical Society, 2012-09-17)Synthetically generated metallopeptides have the potential to serve a variety of roles in biotechnology applications, but the use of such systems is often hampered by the inability to control secondary reactions. We have ... -
