Молекулярные модели: инсулин

На схеме А приведена молекулярная модель небольшого белка инсулина. Строение, биосинтез и функции этого важнейшего гормона подробно обсуждаются в других разделах (см. Метаболизм жиров, Кости, зубы и соединительные ткани).

Чистый инсулин необходим в большом ...

 
А. Инсулин (мономер)

Мономер инсулина состоит из 51 аминокислотного остатка (см. Метаболизм жиров), т. е. по молекулярной массе (5,5 кДа) он вдвое уступает самому низкомолекулярному ферменту. Тем не менее инсулин остаётся типичным глобулярным белком. ...

Б. Инсулин (гексамер)

До поступления в кровь инсулин накапливается B-клетками в островках Лангерганса в виде цинксодержащего гексамера (см. Кости, зубы и соединительные ткани). На схеме Б приведён гексамер (олигомер из 6 субъединиц) в упрощённом, ленточном, ...

Histone H1 glycation and rutin metabolites as glycation inhibitors: Nuclear protein glycation in vivo and novel natural product AGE inhibitors / Protein glycation, induced by hyperglycemia, is implicated in the appearance of diabetic complications and the aging process. Glycation involves the non-enzymatic reaction between sugars and protein amino groups that lead to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

NMR Studies of Structural Motifs: Protein Folding and Ligand Binding / NMR of Structural Motifs: The agrin G3 domain is critical in development and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction. G3 binds -dystroglycan and initiates acetylcholine receptor clustering on myotube membranes. Using NMR spectroscopy, we show both active B8 and inactive B0 isoforms binding sialic NMR Studies of Structural Motifs: Protein Folding and Ligand Binding
