Motion in G(i alpha 1) [gia1]

[ jump to morphs ]

Classification Known Domain Motion, Partial Refolding of Structure [D-f-2]

Structures
1GDD Conformation 1 [ PartsList ]

Description
Twenty-five residues from Asp9 to Glu33 along with eleven COOH-terminal residues fold into a compact microdomain at the NH2-terminal edge of the Ras domain beta sheet in one complex ( G(i alpha 1)-GDP (PDB id 1GDD) ) as compared with the another (the -GTPgS complex), although the overall canonical Ras-like alpha-beta fold is preserved in both conformations.

Particular values describing motion
Maximum CA displacement (A) = 2.1 (Greater than 2 angstroms.)
Experimental Methods = x (Traditional x-ray)
Creation Date = 19971130
