Ultra-high resolution X-ray structure of orthorhombic bovine pancreatic Ribonuclease A at 100K [PDF]
The crystal structure of orthorhombic Bovine Pancreatic Ribonuclease A has been determined to 0.85 Å resolution using low temperature, 100 K, synchrotron X-ray data collected at 16000 keV (λ = 0.77 Å). This is the first ultra-high-resolution structure of

Enhancement of the activity of the antimicrobial peptides HNP1 and LL-37 by bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations, 1 not approved] [PDF]
Background: HNP1, LL-37, and HBD1 are antimicrobial against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 at the standard inoculum but less active at higher inocula. Methods: The virtual colony count (VCC) microbiological assay was adapted for high inocula and the ...

Ribonucleases as potential therapeutic agents [PDF]
Objective Due to high cytotoxicity effect, ribonucleases (RNases) are known as pharmacological agents with therapeutic potential. The high potential of these enzymes in the destruction of RNA strand and their other substrates and subsequently, cell ...

Engineering and production of recombinant bovine pancreatic ribonuclease enzyme (RNase A) as a potential therapeutic [PDF]
Objective Immunotoxins are one of the most promising ways in therapeutic fields, specially cancer therapy which have a unique toxin-antibody structure, and kill the cancer cell by passing through the cell membrane and entering the target cell.

Bovine Pancreatic RNase A: An Insight into the Mechanism of Antitumor Activity In Vitro and In Vivo
In this investigation, we extensively studied the mechanism of antitumor activity of bovine pancreatic RNase A. Using confocal microscopy, we show that after RNase A penetration into HeLa and B16 cells, a part of the enzyme remains unbound with the ...

NMR studies on structure and dynamics of the monomeric derivative of BS-RNase: new insights for 3D domain swapping. [PDF]
Three-dimensional domain swapping is a common phenomenon in pancreatic-like ribonucleases. In the aggregated state, these proteins acquire new biological functions, including selective cytotoxicity against tumour cells.

Protein disulfide-isomerase interacts with a substrate protein at all stages along its folding pathway [PDF]
In contrast to molecular chaperones that couple protein folding to ATP hydrolysis, protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) catalyzes protein folding coupled to formation of disulfide bonds (oxidative folding).
