Abstract
The aim of the project is to study by NMR the tertiary structures of proteins and their interactions with other proteins. Tertiary structure of stefin B will be studied in solution by the combined use of genetic engineering for 15N and 13C labeling and state-of-the-art multidimensional heteronuclear NMR techniques. Relaxation properties of the stefin in solution will be measured and dynamics of the free and proteinase-complexed stefins evaluated in the light of biochemical properties. Conformation of the propeptide of cathepsin L and proteins related to the propeptides of cysteine proteases will be studied by multidimensional NMR as well.
