Clinical Utility of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Titer Multiplied by Binding Avidity of Receptor-Binding Domain (RBD) in Monitoring Protective Immunity and Clinical Severity

Viruses, 2023
Conventional serum antibody titer, which expresses antibody level, does not provide antigen binding avidity of the variable region of the antibody, which is essential for the defense response to infection.

Enzymes as chaperones and chaperones as enzymes

FEBS Letters, 1998
Chaperones and foldases are two groups of accessory proteins which assist maturation of nascent peptides into functional proteins in cells. Protein disulfide isomerase, a foldase, and ATP‐dependent proteases, responsible for degradation of misfolded proteins in cells, both have intrinsic chaperone activities.

The length of ribosomal binding site spacer sequence controls the production yield for intracellular and secreted proteins by Bacillus subtilis

Microbial Cell Factories, 2020
Background Bacillus subtilis is widely used for the industrial production of recombinant proteins, mainly due to its high secretion capacity, but higher production yields can be achieved only if bottlenecks are removed.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is a functional receptor for the SARS coronavirus

Nature, 2003
Spike (S) proteins of coronaviruses, including the coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), associate with cellular receptors to mediate infection of their target cells. Here we identify a metallopeptidase, angiotensin-converting
