Six single substitution mutations, V66F, V66G, V66N, V66Q, V66S, V66T, and V66Y, were made in the background of a highly stable triple mutant (P117G, H124L, and S128A) of staphylococcal nuclease. The thermodynamic stabilities of wild type staphylococ

Protein equilibrium snapshot by hydrogen/deuterium exchange electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PEPS-HDX-ESI-MS or PEPS) is a method recently introduced for estimating protein folding energies and rates. Herein we describe the basis for this m

Background: High level of protein carbonyls have been found in plasma proteins in smokers compared to non-smokers. While oxidation may directly interfere with activity, the extent to which oxidation affects protein turnover is less clear.Objectives:

To explore the effects of molecular crowding and excluded volume upon protein stability, we used a series of cross-linking reagents with nine different single-cysteine mutants of staphylococcal nuclease to make covalently linked dimers. These cross-l

The change in heat capacity, DeltaC(p), on protein unfolding has been usually determined by calorimetry. A noncalorimetric method which employs the Gibbs-Helmholtz relationship to determine DeltaC(p) has seen some use. Generally, in this method the f

Normal tissue radiation injury is associated with loss of vascular thromboresistance, notably because of deficient levels of endothelial thrombomodulin (TM). TM is located on the luminal surface of most endothelial cells and has critical anticoagulan

It is unclear whether the thermal denaturation of staphylococcal nuclease is a two state, three state, or variable two state process. The thermal denaturation of wild-type staphylococcal nuclease was followed by tryptophan fluorescence and circular d

The leading cause of premature death in smokers is cardiovascular disease. Diabetics also suffer from increased cardiovascular disease. This results, in part, from the hypercoagulable state associated with these conditions. However, the molecular cau

Efforts to design proteins with greatly reduced sequence diversity have often resulted in proteins with so-called molten globule properties. Substitutions were made at six neighboring sites in the major hydrophobic core of staphylococcal nuclease to

Study of the posttranslational modification of methionine to its sulfoxide has been receiving increasing attention because of its implication in regulation of protein activity, but techniques for the detection of this modification remain limited. In
