AFM study of cytochrome CYP102A1 oligomeric state

Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) study of the oligomeric state of CYP102A1 was carried out in three different environmental conditions -liquid, air and vacuum. It was shown that usage of a standard probe with a radius of curvature of 10 nm allowed determination of the monomers-to-oligomers ratio, a z 0.5 : 0.5, in these three media, but it wasn't possible to estimate the oligomerization degree more precisely. Application of a supersharp probe with a radius of curvature of 2 nm made it possible not only to obtain data on the ratio of monomers-to-oligomers but also to obtain the approximate ratio between dimers, trimers and tetramers 0.3 : 0.1 : 0.1, but only in vacuum. Results and discussion PCS study of CYP102A1 oligomeric stateUsing PCS, it is possible to obtain the size distribution of macromolecules directly in solution. 8 In our work, this method

Atomic force microscopy fishing of gp120 on immobilized aptamer and its mass spectrometry identification

“…Как было показано ранее [21][22][23][24], стандартный АСМ-кантилевер позволяет получать высоту объекта с разрешением 0,1 нм. В нашем случае, для анализа высот изображений визуализированных объектов использовалась плотность распределения объектов по высотам r(h): …”

Atomic force microscopy monitoring of the temperature dependence of the cytochrome BM3 oligomeric state

“…The accuracy of determining the height of the protein using AFM is ~0.1 nm, which is comparable with the X ray resolution when deter mining the protein structure [8]. The AFM method was previously used to visualize proteins of cyto chrome P450 containing systems and their complexes [9][10][11] and to determine the oligomeric state of pro teins of putidaredoxin reductase and BM3 under vari ous conditions during the AFM measurements [12,13].…”

“…Комбинация АСМ-фишинга с МС анализом имеет большие потенциальные возможности для медицинской протеомики. Это связано с тем, что АСМ-фишинг позволяет одновременно вылавливать, концентрировать и визуализировать низкокопийные белки и их комплексы [4][5][6][7][8], а высокочувствительный МС анализ позволяет идентифицировать выловленные белки. С помощью АСМ-фишинга возможна регистрация белков в диапазоне концентраций 10 -14 -10 -16 M [2].…”
