Mapping of the ligand-binding site on the b ' domain of human PDI: interaction with peptide ligands and the x-linker region [PDF]
, 2009 PDI (protein disulfide-isomerase) catalyses the formation of native disulfide bonds of secretory proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. PDI consists of four thioredoxin-like domains, of which two contain redox-active catalytic sites (a and a'), and two ...

Diversity of molecular targets and signaling pathways for CBD
Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2020 Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second most abundant component of the Cannabis plant and is known to have effects distinct from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Many studies that examined the behavioral effects of CBD concluded that it lacks the psychotomimetic ...

The Chromosomal High-Affinity Binding Sites for the Drosophila Dosage Compensation Complex [PDF]
, 2008 Dosage compensation in male Drosophila relies on the X chromosome-specific recruitment of a chromatin-modifying machinery, the dosage compensation complex (DCC). The principles that assure selective targeting of the DCC are unknown.

Data of protein-RNA binding sites
Data in Brief, 2017 Despite the increasing number of protein-RNA complexes in structure databases, few data resources have been made available which can be readily used in developing or testing a method for predicting either protein-binding sites in RNA sequences or RNA ...

Turnover and function of DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites [PDF]
, 2014 Cell type identity is largely determined by regulatory networks consistent of various transcription factors. Transcription factor activity requires interaction with DNA and thus critically depends on the accessibility of binding motifs.
