项目摘要

Transient and heterogeneous protein interactions play important roles both in the catalytic and regulatory functions of protein complexes and multi-modular machinery. However, the technical challenges involved in structural characterizations of such systems have placed critical barriers against understanding their intrinsic behavior. The vitamin B12-dependent methionine synthase and class Ia ribonucleotide reductases are two enzymes that epitomize such systems where structural insight into their multiple conformations will advance our understanding of their physiological and medically relevant behavior. To meet the technical challenge of investigating these systems, I will exploit the ensemble structural information that can be gained by small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering and employ mathematical methods to deconvolute the mixtures into quantifiable individual states. This work will be complemented by crystallography, spectroscopy, and analytical ultracentrifugation.
