Abstract excerpt
To determine if occupancy of interfacial pockets in oligomeric proteins by volatile anesthetic molecules can allosterically regulate oligomerization equilibria, variants of a three-helix bundle peptide able to form higher oligomers were studied with analytical ultracentrifugation, hydrogen exchange and modeling. Halothane shifted the oligomerization equilibria towards the oligomer only in a mutation predicted to...
