Arginine is effective in elution of proteins from chromatography columns. In this study, effects of arginine on the elution from multimodal chromatography columns, the resins of which have multiple functional groups, were examined using bovine serum albumin and a monoclonal antibody against interleukin-8. The resins used here were Capto MMC and Capto adhere, which are multimodal cation and anion exchangers, respectively. As expected, arginine effectively eluted the proteins from the columns. Mechanism of the elution was examined by molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that the affinity of arginine was primarily associated with electrostatic interaction for Capto MMC and with hydrophobic and π-π interactions as well as hydrogen bonding for Capto adhere.

YFP is a mutant derivative of green fluorescent protein, and is widely used as a fluorescent indicator in molecular biology. Recently we found that YFP mutant variants with single amino acid insertion in β7 showed various fluorescence responses to environmental change. The fluorescence responses depend on the nature of the inserted amino acid residue. To elucidate the molecular mechanism how the insertion affects the fluorescent property, we prepared twenty single amino acid insertion variants of YFP and solved the structures. Here we show the structures of eighteen mutant YFPs. They show unexpected conformational variation in β7 dependent on the inserted residue. We will discuss the relationship between the mutant structure and the fluorescent property.

A challenge for using microtubules (MTs) driven by kinesin motors in functional nanosystems is to control their direction of movement. A method was developed to guide kinesin-propelled MTs in multiple directions under an electric field by designing a charged surface of MT minus ends labeled with dsDNA via a streptavidin-biotin interaction. Experimental trajectories were in good agreement with values predicted from measured electrophoretic mobilities. As the effective charge of labeled DNA molecules matches to that of freely dispersed DNA molecules, MT trajectory can be estimated even by selecting labeling molecules with known charges. Our molecular design and prediction methodology demonstrate the feasibility of using molecular sorters driven by motor proteins.
