Chicken fumarase. I. Purification and characterization.

Fumarase from chicken heart is purified 400 times from the crude muscle extract. The isolation procedure includes ammonium sulfate fractionations, Bio-Gel P-300 column chromatography and electrofocusings on pH-gradients from pH 3 to 10 and from pH 7 to 9. Chicken fumarase behaves as an homogeneous protein in sedimentation, diffusion and electrofocusing studies; the protein possesses a single amino-terminal residue: lysine. The analysis of the CD and ORD spectra suggests the presence of 60-65 p. cent of alpha-helix, 0 - 5 p. cent of beta-structure with the remaining portions of the protein in an unordered conformation. Chicken fumarase is found to be composed of 4 subunits of identical molecular weight (51.000) and devoid of disulfide bridges. Finally, the physicochemical properties of chicken fumarase are compared with those of the porcine enzyme.

Analysis of the conformation of polypeptides : the combined use of energy computations and nuclear magnetic resonance studies.

This review surveys current approaches to the problem of determining the solution conformation of polypeptides. The basic principles of energy computations are described. The utility, problems, and limitations of various theoretical methods are summarized: conformational energy mapping, energy minimization, scanning of selected local conformations, statistical predictive schemes. The need for combining the calculations with experimental studies is pointed out. The information content of various physico-chemical methods is compared for this purpose. The analysis of nmr coupling constants is discussed in more detail. In combination with energy computations, it can furnish specific information on local aspects of the conformation. Examples of such combined studies on small peptides are summarized.
