Abstract excerpt
We report the combined use of steady-state fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate conformational distributions of the prion protein (PrP) repeat system. FRET was used for the first time to probe the distance, as a function of temperature and pH, between a donor Trp residue and an acceptor dansyl group attached to the N-terminus in seven...
