Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

A DFT based prediction of a new 2D zirconium disulfide Pmmm-ZrS2 monolayer: A quasi direct band gap semiconductor

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
A new 2D stable crystal of zirconium-sulfur compound namely Pmmn-ZrS2 monolayer by using density functional theory is predicted. Our computations confirm that our proposed ZrS2 monolayer indicates good energetic, kinetic, and thermal stabilities as ...

Hybridab initioKohn-Sham density functional theory/frozen-density orbital-free density functional theory simulation method suitable for biological systems [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008
A hybrid computational method intended for simulations of biomolecules in solution is described. The ab initio Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) method is used to describe the chemically active part of the system and its first solvation shells, while a frozen-density orbital-free (FDOF) DFT method is used to treat the rest of the solvent ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Self-consistent double-hybrid density-functional theory using the optimized-effective-potential method

open access: yes, 2016
We introduce an orbital-optimized double-hybrid (DH) scheme using the optimized-effective-potential (OEP) method. The orbitals are optimized using a local potential corresponding to the complete exchange-correlation energy expression including the second-

Emerging role of ARHGAP29 in melanoma cell phenotype switching

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study gives first insights into the role of ARHGAP29 in malignant melanoma. ARHGAP29 was revealed to be connected to tumor cell plasticity, promoting a mesenchymal‐like, invasive phenotype and driving tumor progression. Further, it modulates cell spreading by influencing RhoA/ROCK signaling and affects SMAD2 activity. Rho GTPase‐activating protein

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF LAYERED COMPOUNDS WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO- AND TRICOORDINATED CARBON ATOMS

open access: yesФизико-химические аспекты изучения кластеров, наноструктур и наноматериалов, 2014
In this paper the electronic structure of five major structural modification of graphyne: α-, β1-, β2-, γ1- and γ2- graphyne were calculated by method of density functional theory.

Kinetics in one-dimensional lattice gas and Ising models from time-dependent density functional theory

open access: yes, 2002
Time-dependent density functional theory, proposed recently in the context of atomic diffusion and non-equilibrium processes in solids, is tested against Monte Carlo simulation.
