Competition between LIM-binding domains [PDF]
LMO (LIM-only) and LIM-HD (LIM-homeodomain) proteins form a family of proteins that is required for myriad developmental processes and which can contribute to diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and breast cancer. The four LMO and 12 LIM-HD proteins in mammals are expressed in a combinatorial manner in many cell types, forming a transcriptional ‘LIM code’

Integrating binding and expression data to predict transcription factors combined function
Background Transcription factor binding to the regulatory region of a gene induces or represses its gene expression. Transcription factors share their binding sites with other factors, co-factors and/or DNA-binding proteins. These proteins form complexes

Competitive ELISA for Protein-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Binding
Lipopolysaccharide is the major constituent of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria and, once released from the bacterial surface into the bloodstream, is a potent activator of the host immune system, which can lead to septic shock.

Discovery and Characterization of a Cryptic Secondary Binding Site in the Molecular Chaperone HSP70
Heat Shock Protein 70s (HSP70s) are key molecular chaperones that are overexpressed in many cancers and often associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. It has proven difficult to develop ATP-competitive, drug-like small molecule inhibitors of HSP70s

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

ATP-competitive inhibitors modulate the substrate binding cooperativity of a kinase by altering its conformational entropy. [PDF]
ATP-competitive inhibitors are currently the largest class of clinically approved drugs for protein kinases. By targeting the ATP-binding pocket, these compounds block the catalytic activity, preventing substrate phosphorylation.

Chemokine Cooperativity Is Caused by Competitive Glycosaminoglycan Binding [PDF]
Abstract Chemokines comprise a family of secreted proteins that activate G protein–coupled chemokine receptors and thereby control the migration of leukocytes during inflammation or immune surveillance. The positional information required for such migratory behavior is governed by the binding of chemokines to membrane-tethered ...

Competitive Binding of Natural Amphiphiles with Graphene Derivatives [PDF]
Understanding the transformation of graphene derivatives by natural amphiphiles is essential for elucidating the biological and environmental implications of this emerging class of engineered nanomaterials. Using rapid discrete-molecular-dynamics simulations, we examined the binding of graphene and graphene oxide with peptides, fatty acids, and ...
