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

Mitochondrial precursor proteins are imported through a hydrophilic membrane environment [PDF]
We have analyzed how translocation intermediates of imported mitochondrial precursor proteins, which span contact sites, interact with the mitochondrial membranes.

Manipulation of Carrier Proteins in Antibiotic Biosynthesis [PDF]
Engineering biosynthetic pathways into suitable host organisms has become an attractive venue for the design, evaluation, and production of small molecule therapeutics. Polyketide (PK) and nonribosomal peptide (NRP) synthases have been of particular interest due to their modular structure, yet routine cloning and expression of these enzymes remains ...

Synthesis of Length-Tunable DNA Carriers for Nanopore Sensing [PDF]
Molecular carriers represent an increasingly common strategy in the field of nanopore sensing to use secondary molecules to selectively report on the presence of target analytes in solution, allowing for sensitive assays of otherwise hard-to-detect molecules such as small, weakly-charged proteins.

NMR Studies of Escherichia Coli Acyl Carrier Protein: Dynamic and Structural Differences of the Apo- and Holo-forms [PDF]
Two indicators of conformational variability of Escherichia coli acyl carrier protein (ACP) have been investigated, namely backbone dynamics and chemical shift variations of ACP.

Characterization of Translocation Contact Sites Involved in the Import of Mitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
Import of proteins into the mitochondrial matrix requires translocation across two membranes. Translocational intermediates of mitochondrial proteins, which span the outer and inner membrane simultaneously and thus suggest that translocation occurs in ...

Subcellular localization of the mosquito sterol carrier protein-2 and sterol carrier protein-x [PDF]
Subcellular distribution of Aedes aegypti sterol carrier protein-2 (AeSCP-2) and AeSCP-x was studied using electron microscopy. In both cultured A. aegypti cells and in the larval midgut, AeSCP-2 was detected mostly in the cytosol, with some labeling mitochondria and nucleus, but not in membranous vesicles. The widespread distribution of AeSCP-2 in the

In Xanthomonas spp., the biosynthesis of the yellow pigment xanthomonadin and fatty acids originates in the type II polyketide synthase (PKS II) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) pathways, respectively. The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is the central component

Charge transport in purple membrane monolayers: A sequential tunneling approach [PDF]
Current voltage (I-V) characteristics in proteins can be sensitive to conformational change induced by an external stimulus (photon, odour, etc.). This sensitivity can be used in medical and industrial applications besides shedding new light in the microscopic structure of biological materials. Here, we show that a sequential tunneling model of carrier

Acid-Labile Traceless Click Linker for Protein Transduction [PDF]
Intracellular delivery of active proteins presents an interesting approach in research and therapy. We created a protein transduction shuttle based on a new traceless click linker that combines the advantages of click reactions with implementation of ...
