Plant Hormone Binding Sites [PDF]
Receptors for plant hormones are becoming identified with increasing rapidity, although a frustrating number remain unknown. There have also been many more hormone-binding proteins described than receptors. This Botanical Briefing summarizes what has been discovered about hormone binding sites, their discovery and descriptions, and will not dwell on ...

Evolutionary conservation of influenza A PB2 sequences reveals potential target sites for small molecule inhibitors. [PDF]
The influenza A basic polymerase protein 2 (PB2) functions as part of a heterotrimer to replicate the viral RNA genome. To investigate novel PB2 antiviral target sites, this work identified evolutionary conserved regions across the PB2 protein sequence ...

Amyloid and Tau Positron Emission Tomography Imaging in Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Tauopathies
The detection and staging of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using non-invasive imaging biomarkers is of substantial clinical importance. Positron emission tomography (PET) provides readouts to uncover molecular alterations in the brains of AD patients with ...

Photoaffinity labeling with cholesterol analogues precisely maps a cholesterol-binding site in voltage-dependent anion channel-1 [PDF]
Voltage-dependent anion channel-1 (VDAC1) is a highly regulated β-barrel membrane protein that mediates transport of ions and metabolites between the mitochondria and cytosol of the cell.

Voronoi binding site models [PDF]
AbstractA frequently occurring problem in drug design and enzymology is that the binding constants for several compounds to the same site are known, but the geometry and energetic interactions of the site are not. This paper presents in detail a novel approach to the problem which accurately but compactly represents the allowed conformation space of ...

Plague is a zoonotic disease that is caused by Yersinia pestis. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to the V-antigen, a virulence factor that is produced by Y. pestis, can passively protect mice from plague. An analysis of protective mAbs that bind to
