ZRT1 harbors an excess of nonsynonymous polymorphism and shows evidence of balancing selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Estimates of the fraction of nucleotide substitutions driven by positive selection vary widely across different species. Accounting for different estimates of positive selection has been difficult, in part because selection on polymorphism within a ...

Rapid de novo discovery of peptidomimetic affinity reagents for human angiotensin converting enzyme 2

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry, 2022
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been identified as a cardiovascular disease biomarker and the primary receptor utilized by SARS-CoV-2, but developing serum-stable, selective and high-affinity binders for this target is challenging.

Yeast Surface Display Platform for Rapid Selection of an Antibody Library via Sequential Counter Antigen Flow Cytometry

open access: yesAntibodies, 2022
Yeast surface display techniques have been increasingly employed as a tool for both the discovery and affinity maturation of antibodies. In this study, we describe the use of yeast surface display for the selection and affinity maturation of antibodies ...

Quantifying evolutionary constraints on B cell affinity maturation

open access: yes, 2014
The antibody repertoire of each individual is continuously updated by the evolutionary process of B cell receptor mutation and selection. It has recently become possible to gain detailed information concerning this process through high-throughput ...

Machine Learning to Quantify In Situ Humoral Selection in Human Lupus Tubulointerstitial Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
In human lupus nephritis, tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) is associated with in situ expansion of B cells expressing anti-vimentin antibodies (AVAs). The mechanism by which AVAs are selected is unclear.

Controlled release of the herbicide simazine from computationally designed molecularly imprinted polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The present study describes the development of materials suitable for environmental control of algae. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were used as simazine carriers able to provide the controlled release of simazine into water.

Evaluation of Phage Display Discovered Peptides as Ligands for Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to identify potential ligands of PSMA suitable for further development as novel PSMA-targeted peptides using phage display technology. The human PSMA protein was immobilized as a target followed by incubation with a 15-mer phage

Direct Dynamic Protein-Affinity Selection Mass-Spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yesChromatographia, 2010
A new methodology is described enabling the affinity screening of potential ligands towards the human estrogen receptor alpha ligand binding domain (ERalpha-LBD). In-solution incubation is performed of the analyte and the His-tagged ERalpha-LBD. The bound complex is immobilized on a nickel-loaded protein-affinity selection column, where after the ...

Toward Glycomaterials with Selectivity as Well as Affinity

open access: yesJACS Au, 2021
Multivalent glycosylated materials (polymers, surfaces, and particles) often show high affinity toward carbohydrate binding proteins (e.g., lectins) due to the nonlinear enhancement from the cluster glycoside effect. This affinity gain has potential in applications from diagnostics, biosensors, and targeted delivery to anti-infectives and in an ...

Monte Carlo study of gating and selection in potassium channels

open access: yes, 2011
The study of selection and gating in potassium channels is a very important issue in modern biology. Indeed such structures are known in all types of cells in all organisms where they play many important functional roles.
