Circular and linear dichroism of proteins

Abstract: Circular dichroism (CD) is an important technique in the structural characterisation of proteins, and especially for secondary structure determination. The CD of proteins can be calculated from first principles using the so-called matrix method, with an accuracy which is almost quantitative for helical proteins. Thus, for proteins of unknown structure, CD calculations and experimental data can be used in conjunction to aid structure analysis. Linear dichroism (LD) can be calculated using analogous methodology … Show more

“…Indeed in the far ultraviolet region (190 -250 nm), the CD of a protein is dominated by the n,* and ,* electronic transitions of the amide groups and is influenced by the geometries of the polypeptide backbone. Each of the possible secondary structures, ␣-helix, ␤-sheet, and random coil, gives rise to a CD of characteristic shape and magnitude, so that the overall signal reflects the fractional contribution of each structure type, which can be determined by suitable algorithms (36). The CD spectra of the two preparations of Stx1 recorded in identical conditions are shown in Fig.…”

“…Isto ocorre quando um grupo cromóforo é parte de uma estrutura assimétrica, ou quando é imobilizado dentro de um ambiente assimétrico (Miles e Wallace, 2005;Bulheller et al, 2007;Abdul-Gader et al, 2011). CD é uma técnica padrão na Biofísica utilizada na caracterização de biopolímeros, como por exemplo, proteínas e ácidos nucleicos, podendo ser empregada em análises de atividade óptica de proteínas e quantificar suas estruturas secundárias: α-hélice, β-folha, curvatura β ou torção β e estruturas ao acaso também denominadas não organizadas (Brahms e Brahms, 1980;Miles e Wallace, 2005;Bulheller et al, 2007;Abdul-Gader et al, 2011).…”

Outras aplicações da técnica são direcionadas no monitoramento de perturbações na estrutura de proteínas quando esta interage com outras moléculas ou ainda em função de mudanças de pH ou adição de agentes desnaturantes (Rosengarth et al, 1999;Miles e Wallace, 2005).…”
