Fourier -transform infrared microscopic spectra of scrapie-infected nervous tissue measured at high spatial resolution (approximately 6 microm) were compared with those obtained from the purified, partly proteinase K digested scrapie isoform of the prion protein isolated from nervous tissue of hamsters infected with the same scrapie strain (263K) to elucidate similarities/dissimilarities between prion structure investigated in situ and ex vivo. A further comparison is drawn to the recombinant Syrian hamster prion protein SHaPrP(90-232) after in vitro conformational transition from the predominantly alpha-helical isoform to beta-sheet-rich structures. It is shown that prion protein structure can be investigated within tissue and that detectability of regions with elevated beta-sheet content as observed in microspectra of prion-infected tissue strongly depends on spatial resolution of the experiment.
An atomic model of the conformation of peptidoglycan was taken as the basis for an analysis of packing patterns of the peptidoglycan strands in two- and three-dimensional arrangements. For the sake of clarity, glycan strands were approximated by cylindrical rods around which a continuous helix of possible peptide cross-linkage sites was arranged. Using the packing patterns obtained, several important properties of the murein network could be explained. These include variations in the degree of cross-linking in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and an estimation of the number of peptide monomers, di/trimers and oligomers present. Furthermore, our model is compatible with the well known flexibility of the murein fabric and the distinct elastic properties of the cell wall in gram-positive cocci and rod-shaped bacteria.
