FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Conformational Dynamics in Nitrogen-Fused Azabicycles [PDF]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2003 Using molecular mechanics (MM3 force field)-based methodology, conformational dynamics have been studied for 1-azabicyclo[2.2.0]hexane, 1-azabicylo[3.3.0]octane, and 1-azabicylo[4.4.0]decane. Obtained conformational schemes describe the flexibity of these parent azabicyles as well as permit us to estimate conformational mobility in related N-fused ...

Computational investigation of conformational and spectroscopic substates in neuroglobin [PDF]
, 2011 The family of globins has a strong significance in the history of protein research. Their abundance, spread in nature, and evolutionary diversity are crucial factors for a wide range of approved and suggested physiological functions taking place in ...

Hierarchical modeling of activation mechanisms in the ABL and EGFR kinase domains: thermodynamic and mechanistic catalysts of kinase activation by cancer mutations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Structural and functional studies of the ABL and EGFR kinase domains have recently suggested a common mechanism of activation by cancer-causing mutations.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 Protein kinases work because their flexibility allows to continuously switch from inactive to active form. Despite the large number of structures experimentally determined in such states, the mechanism of their conformational transitions as well as the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Mean Field Approximation in Conformation Dynamics [PDF]
Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, 2009 We propose a new approach to the transfer operator based analysis of the conformation dynamics of molecules. It is based on a statistical independence ansatz for the eigenfunctions of the operator related to a partitioning into subsystems. Numerical tests performed on small systems show excellent qualitative agreement between mean field and exact model,
