I am aware of some peptides (MW 4330) which readily aggregate at around mid-range pH but can become very much more soluble and stable at others. So you could try changing the pH to 3 or 8, though this would require some test runs to sort out changes to your cation exhange purification system. Perhaps something as simple say addition of non-ionic detergent, such as triton-X to your buffer systems would overcome your problems. DTT and mercaptoethanol are only likely to be very useful if your target protein has cysteines or methionines in it. I hope this helps, Len Bell. Liverpool University.

The program reads main sequence formats and performs automatic alignments, alignment visualization and editing and it allows sequences to be aligned interactively leaving unchanged previously aligned regions. The program has an user-friendly interface. Manual alignment and sequence analysis are facilitated by coloring schemes reflecting amino acid similarity in mutational, physico-chemical and other properties. Although ProMSED was targeted at protein sequences, it can be used on DNA sequences as well. The program provides flexible tool for sequences alignment, analysis, visualization, edition and presentation preparation. The program does or has (+ - NEW or enhanced features): + inputs DNA and protein sequences in NBRF/PIR, Pearson (Fasta), MSF (GSG), EMBL/SwissProt, Intelligenetics and CLUSTAL formats; o has interface and functions like in others Windows applications (source file view, font changing, marking/unmarking, block and sequence selection, cut and paste, UNDO, etc.); o loads several sequence families in different windows, adds sequences to existing alignment, combines sequences from various files; + outputs the alignment in several popular formats; + makes presentation quality color and black-and-white prints of complete alignment or any selected block; + saves alignment picture as Windows metafile and bitmap; o permits to apply automatic alignment interactively (with options to change the alignment parameters) to any selected part of sequences of marked block; + calculates sequence similarity of complete sequences, of any selected sequence subset or of marked block in % and in PAM250 units (matrix of amino acid similarity); + calculates total (average for %) sequence similarity value - an estimation of alignment quality; + prints sequence similarity matrix; + sorts sequences by similarity of complete sequences or marked block; + displays conserved and semiconserved positions; + has many amino acid coloring schemes aimed to facilitate manual alignment and understanding protein sequence features.

Gladyshev Professor of Physical Chemistry=20 (Institute of Ecological Biophysical Chemistry of the Academy of Creative Endeavours,=20 Laboratory of Thermodynamics and Macrokinetics of Non-equilibrium Systems of N.N.Semionov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Professor of the Chair of Biomedical Systems and Devices (N.E.Bauman Moscow State Technical University, 1975-1985) Summary This book is devoted to the physical theory of the biological evolution. The theory is based on macrothermodynamics, i.e., the hierarchic thermodynamics of complex systems. The results of the studies presented in the book allow one to state that the peculiarities of the evolution of living beings, as well as the peculiarities of the chemical evolution, can be explained without the concepts of the dynamical self-organization and the dissipative structures.=20 According to the second law, the tendency of the evolution of biological systems on chemical and supramolecular levels can be determined by studying the effect of thermodynamical self-organization (self-assembly). The criterion for estimating the evolutionary development of supramolecular structures of biosystems (biotissues) is given by the variation of the specific Gibbs function of their formation. During the processes of ontogenesis, philogenesis, and biological evolution in general, the specific supramolecular component of the Gibbs function of a biosystem, that is quasi-closed thermodynamically and kinetically, tends to a relative minimum. The value of this minimum is a characteric of the given biosystem surrounded by the given environment.=20 The non-stationary theoretical model presented in the monograph explains the reasons causing the variations in the chemical composition and structure of living beings in the course of ontogenesis, philogenesis, and the evolution in general. It also allows to find out the rules determining the variations in the composition and structure of a biosystem during its adaptation to the external conditions.=20 At present, it seems that the most essential applications of the theory relate to the study of the living creatures behaviour and to gerontology, pharmacology, dietology. =20 The book is written as an interdisciplinary monograph and is designed for a reader with university education.=20 During the last decades, an opinion has widely spread that there is =ABthe apparent contradiction between biological order and laws of physics - particularly the second law of thermodynamics=BB. Besides, it is claimed that this contradiction =ABcannot be removed as long as one tries to understand living systems by the methods of equilibrium thermodynamics=BB. The author of the present work states: if living systems are described in the framework of hierarchic equilibrium thermodynamics, this contradiction does not exist. Review of the work will appear in one of the next issues of Journal of Biological Physics.

You will certainly not be able to use ion exchange chromatography in 6M GdnHCl! The extrememly high ionic strength from that addition would completely shield the electrostatic interactions of proteins with the column and thus prevent binding/separation. It is possible to use ion exchange with (non-ionic) urea, although I don't think I have ever heard of anyone doing it with urea concentrations that high. Usually when people add urea to help minimize aggregation they would not add enough to completely denature the protein of interest, but just enough to help keep things soluble (perhaps 1 M). Those amounts of either GdnHCl or urea also would be incompatible with dye-binding and reverse phase chromatography. Also, one problem with ion exchange for proteins which tend to aggregate is that typically your protein all sticks near the top of the column and thus is very highly concentrated and prone to aggregate. Thus you may want to consider chromatography under conditions where the impurities will bind but your protein will flow through. Also, you stated that you believe your protein re-folds easily. Are you sure this is true? Often aggregation of recombinant proteins, especially from E. coli (I am guessing that is what you have) is really due to the presence of some mis-folded protein.

I did it as a PhD-student. I was working with large peptides, almost protein-sized. Worked fine; I used a FPLC and different ion-exchange columns.

He could also adjust the pH to a value, where the binding is not as strong; e.g., with an anion-exchange column he could use pH 7 or lower, instead of pH 8. Another possibility would be to use weaker ion-exchange materials, e.g., DEAE.

The studentships are available in the following research areas: PROTEIN BIOINFORMATICS / STRUCTURE PREDICTION (includes special studentship) PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY (including viral crystallography) EXPERIMENTAL PROTEIN FOLDING PROTEIN RELATED MASS SPECTROMETRY (special studentship) Full details on available projects and contact details may be found at the following WWW address: http://globin.bio.warwick.ac.uk/structure/structure.html Applicants from computing, chemistry or physics, who are seeking to broaden their research into biological applications are also welcome to apply for these positions. Applicants from non-biological disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply for the protein bioinformatics or crystallography projects. PLEASE NOTE These studentships may only be awarded to UK citizens who satisfy the BBSRC residency requirements. Some "fees only" awards can be made to applicants who do not qualify and who have some means for financing their own living costs.

As others pointed out already, 6M guanidine will certainly affect your ion exchange chromatography step because of its high ionic strength. However, urea won't.

The standard textbook solution to this apparent contradiction is to consider the entire solar system as the thermodynamic system, not just the Earth. In that case, the sun's energy dissipation and entropy gain far offsets any tendencies in the opposite direction due to life on Earth or elsewhere in the solar system.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

It's shape looks like a spring. I am looking at ways in which it might behave like a spring, so in particular I am looking for its longitudinal coefficient of eleasticity and/or the speed in which vibrations would propogate along such a spring. Has this been measured or calculated? To what extent is it influenced by the position of the helix within a protein? I would expect an 'internal' alpha helix to be stiffer as a result of bonding between itself and the rest of the protein. The relationship between the mass and the vibration propogation speed would be determined by the mass per unit length. I assume that the mass of the protein itself is relatively easy to calculate (although I have not yet tried to calculate it) There would also be water and other molecules bound to the alpha helix. Can anyone suggest how this might be taken into account? The only papers I have found treats the helix as an inelastic cylinder which is satisfactory for many purposes, but not for mine.

I'm a student of the university of Twente (The Netherlands) and I'm studying applied communications. This trimester I have to make an essay for Philosophy. I'd like to do it about bio-technology. More specificly, about identification (DNA fingerprinting for crime, insurance issues, screening of large populations, etc.) Now I wondered if maybe anybody had written about this subject. Maybe there is some information on the net about it, or someone has got an article about it. It doesn't matter what, I can use almost everything. If you have something for me you can mail me (j.m.dejong@student.utwente.nl) or you can post it in this newsgroup. Thanks already!

They are probably pretty hard to compress--I'd imagine VDW interactions could be used to model how (in)compressible they'd be, and you could use the geometry of the H-bonds, and an estimate of their strength to get an order of magnitude idea of how "jiggly" or how resistant to stretching they'd be. Suggested reading may be on IR spectroscopy--there are a bunch of characteristic vibrational modes associated with helices and sheets. The difficulty is that there's coupling, where different peptide vibrations interact and affect each other, and I'd imagine at that point, unless you were looking at an isolated helix, you'd start to see the effects of the things around the helix on the vibration. All that said, I tend to imagine protein to behave a bit like a blob of gelatin with rods and springs shoved in it. Other keywords to search may be "normal mode" The author that comes to mind is Go, N. There are some interesting papers on normal mode analysis of motions in proteins. hiroki Nigel Dyer (nigel.dyer@luke1017.demon.co.uk) wrote: : I am looking for information on the physical properties of the alpha helix : folding pattern that is commonly found within protein molecules.

The well experienced physiologist Dr. P.K. Ghosh is going to teach the technique individually to all participants in a class of three students. We will be able to offer this opportunity only to four groups (each group with 3 researchers/students). Each group will have five days of class consisting of lectures followed by several extensive lab works using rats/mice. The classes will focus mainly on the followings: 1.Measurement of Cardiac Output by thermodilution in rats/mice including catheterization in different blood vessels. 2. End-Tidal CO2 measurement in rats/mice using Micro-Capnometer. 3.Measurement of respiratory frequency in unrestrained rats/mice by plethysmographic method. 4.Measurement of oxygen consumption and CO2 production in home cages and during exercise on Treadmill. 5. Lung function in rats by carbon monoxide uptake test. The starting date will be June 20, July 11, August 1, and September 5, 1997. Please register early because of limited available space.

Mainly out of curiosity, I did a web search on european and north american graduate neuroscience schools; I noticed that a constant prerequisitive is a "strong (undergraduate) background in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and behavioral sciences", leaving out (?) a prospective student with a medical background. In medical school, we are trained on courses covering virtually every aspect of current neuroscience research (bioph., biochem., mol. biol., neurophysiol., neuropathol., neurol., neurosurg., psychol., psych., to name some), spending considerable time over a lab bench. Ofcourse our studies lack the depth of those of a specialized sciences school, but my impression is that the broadness of our training is perhaps of equal value. Do you think a medical student with an interest in basic neuroscience, and generally in basic sciences, could "stand a chance" among the competition with his/her specialized colleagues from science schools, for post-graduate training ?

The course consists of two complimentary parts. A distinguished international faculty gives morning lectures on topics in experimental and computational neuroscience. The rest of the day is spent learning how to use simulation software and how to implement a model of the system the student wishes to study. The first week of the course introduces students to the most important techniques in modeling single cells, networks and neural systems. Students learn how to use the GENESIS, NEURON, XPP and other software packages on their individual unix workstations. During the following three weeks the lectures will be more general, but each week topics ranging from modeling single cells and subcellular processes through the simulation of simple circuits, large neuronal networks and system level models of the the brain will be covered. The course ends with a presentation of the students' modeling projects. The Crete Course in Computational Neuroscience is designed for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in a variety of disciplines, including neuroscience, physics, electrical engineering, computer science and psychology. Students are expected to have a basic background in neurobiology as well as some computer experience. A total of 28 students will be accepted with an age limit of 35 years. We will accept students of any nationality, but the majority will be from the European Union and affiliated countries (Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein and Norway). We specifically encourage applications from researchers who work in less-favoured regions of the EU, from women and from researchers from industry. Every student will be charged a tuition fee of 500 ECU (approx. US$630). In the case of students with a nationality from the EU, affiliated countries or Japan, the tuition fee covers lodging, local travel and all course-related expenses. All applicants with other nationalities will be charged an ADDITIONAL fee of 1000 ECU (approx. US$1260) which covers lodging, local travel and course-related expenses. For nationals from EU and affiliated countries economy travel from an EU country to Crete will be refunded after the course. A limited number of students from less-favoured regions world-wide will get their fees and travel refunded.
