The metal binding site of zoocin A [PDF]

open access: yesJBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2008
Direct metal analysis of the bacteriolytic exoenzyme zoocin A failed to unequivocally identify a putative metal cofactor; hence, indirect experiments utilizing NMR were undertaken to settle this question. Cd(2+) as a surrogate metal ion was reconstituted into EDTA-treated, metal-free recombinant zoocin, and (113)Cd-NMR was employed to explore binding ...

Spatial Layouts of Low‐Entropy Hydration Shells Guide Protein Binding

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, 2023
Protein–protein binding enables orderly biological self‐organization and is therefore considered a miracle of nature. Protein‒protein binding is driven by electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force, and hydrophobic interactions.

A New Strategy for Multitarget Drug Discovery/Repositioning Through the Identification of Similar 3D Amino Acid Patterns Among Proteins Structures: The Case of Tafluprost and its Effects on Cardiac Ion Channels

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
The identification of similar three-dimensional (3D) amino acid patterns among different proteins might be helpful to explain the polypharmacological profile of many currently used drugs.

Analysis of monoclonal immunoglobulins from bone marrow plasma cells using immunopurification and LC-MS

open access: yesJournal of Mass Spectrometry and Advances in the Clinical Lab, 2023
Introduction: Clonal plasma cells secrete immunoglobulins, each with the exact same amino acid sequence, that are referred to as monoclonal immunoglobulins.

Characterization of α-actin isoforms in white and red skeletal muscle types of Leporinus macrocephalus (Characiformes, Anostomidae)

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015
RESUMO Dois genes de α-actina do peixe Leporinus macrocephalus, referindo-se aos tecidos musculares branco e vermelho, foram isolados. Isoformas de actinas, que principalmente diferiram por uma substituição Ser/Ala155, podem ter uma significância ...

Trichinella spiralis Calreticulin S-Domain Binds to Human Complement C1q to Interfere With C1q-Mediated Immune Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Helminths develop strategies to escape host immune responses that facilitate their survival in the hostile host immune environment. Trichinella spiralis, a tissue-dwelling nematode, has developed a sophisticated strategy to escape complement attack.

Detailed Experimental and In Silico Investigation of Indomethacin Binding with Human Serum Albumin Considering Primary and Secondary Binding Sites

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
The interaction of indomethacin with human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied here considering the primary and secondary binding sites. The Stern–Volmer plots were linear in the lower concentration range of indomethacin while a downward curvature was ...

Ethanol binding sites on proteins

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 2017
This study is on the analysis of ethanol binding sites on 3D structures of nonredundant proteins from the Protein Data Bank. The only one amino acid residue that is significantly overrepresented around ethanol molecules is Tyr. There are usually two or more Tyr residues in the same ethanol binding site, while residues of Thr, Asp and Gln are ...

A client‐binding site of Cdc37 [PDF]

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, 2005
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is distinct from Hsp70 and chaperonin in that client proteins are apparently restricted to a subset of proteins categorized as cellular signaling molecules. Among these, many specific protein kinases require the assistance of Hsp90 and its co‐chaperone Cdc37/p50 for their biogenesis.

Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2012
Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins
