    Abstract:
    Large-scale functionally significant changes in the intramolecular dynamics of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (EC 2.4.1.1) in solution upon ligand binding, transition from dimeric to tetrameric form, temperature denaturation and aggregation were registered at room temperature using the tryptophan phosphorescence technique. It was shown that binding of glucose-1-phosphate (substrate, 0.25-4 mM) and glucose (competitive inhibitor, 0.5-8 mM) to the active site and temperature-induced protein aggregation decrease large-scale structural fluctuations of the protein matrix at the level of domains and subunits; whereas the transition of glycogen phosphorylase b to tetrameric form (R-conformation) leads to a dramatic increase in the structural flexibility of the peripheral parts of the protein globule.
