Engineering an AB5 Protein Carrier [PDF]
AbstractThe promise of biologic therapeutics is hindered by the challenge to deliver their activity to biochemically relevant sites within diseased cells. The favourable application of the natural protein carriers of the AB5 toxin family to this challenge has been restricted owing to still unresolved requirements for assembling non-native cargo into ...

Lipid carrier proteins and ethanol
Ethanol has a pronounced effect on lipid homeostasis. It is our overall hypothesis that certain lipid carrier proteins are targets of acute and chronic ethanol exposure and that perturbation of these proteins induces lipid dysfunction leading to cellular pathophysiology. These proteins include both intracellular proteins and lipoproteins.

Trapping of the Enoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase–Acyl Carrier Protein Interaction [PDF]
An ideal target for metabolic engineering, fatty acid biosynthesis remains poorly understood on a molecular level. These carrier protein-dependent pathways require fundamental protein-protein interactions to guide reactivity and processivity, and their control has become one of the major hurdles in successfully adapting these biological machines.

Counterion-release entropy governs the inhibition of serum proteins by polyelectrolyte drugs [PDF]
Dendritic polyelectrolytes constitute high potential drugs and carrier systems for biomedical purposes, still their biomolecular interaction modes, in particular those determining the binding affinity to proteins, have not been rationalized. We study the interaction of the drug candidate dendritic polyglycerol sulfate (dPGS) with serum proteins using ...

A review on protein based nanocarriers for polyphenols: interaction and stabilization mechanisms
Protein has been used as the carrier for protecting and targeting polyphenols and increasing their shelf-life. Interactions of a protein molecule with polyphenols are important, which change functions and physiochemical properties of the complex and ...

Insights on the Quest for the Structure–Function Relationship of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier
The molecular identity of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) was presented in 2012, forty years after the active transport of cytosolic pyruvate into the mitochondrial matrix was first demonstrated.

Presentation matters: Impact of association of amphiphilic LPS with serum carrier proteins on innate immune signaling. [PDF]
Recognition of Pathogen-associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-like receptors is central to innate immunity. Many bacterial PAMPs such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid have amphiphilic properties. The hydrophobicity of amphiphilic

DNA Scaffold Carrier Assisted Protein Translocation Through Solid-State Nanopore [PDF]
The detection of biomolecules at the single molecular level have important applications in the fields of biosensing and biomedical diagnosis. Solid state nanopore (SS-nanopore) is an effective tool to perform the single molecular detection, due to its unique properties of label-free and less sample consumption. The current SS-nanopore translocations of

Transport proteins (carriers) of mitochondria [PDF]
AbstractMitochondria are subcellular structures essential to the aerobic eukaryotic cell. Their role extends much beyond their basic reactions of oxidative phosphorylation. It encompasses the steps critical for cellular metabolic pathways, for apoptosis, and for other processes such as antiviral signaling.
