Synthetic biology—putting engineering into biology [PDF]
, 2006 Synthetic biology is interpreted as the engineering-driven building of increasingly complex biological entities for novel applications. Encouraged by progress in the design of artificial gene networks, de novo DNA synthesis and protein engineering, we ...

Plant functional biology [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2004 David Ackerly and Russ Monson took on a daunting task in organizing the symposium that led to this collection of papers: identifying a representative set of studies of plant function that together might point the way to a coherent field of evolutionary inquiry into plant functional biology.

Nitric oxide function in plant biology: a redox cue in deconvolution.
New Phytologist, 2014 Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous, redox-active small molecule, is gradually becoming established as a central regulator of growth, development, immunity and environmental interactions in plants.

Diphthamide synthesis is linked to the eEF2‐client chaperone machinery
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The diphthamide modification of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2) is important for accurate protein synthesis. We addressed the potential coordination of de novo eEF2 synthesis with simultaneous or subsequent diphthamide modification. Our work reveals that the co‐chaperones Hgh1 and Cpr7, which are known to support folding of nascent ...

A signaling visualization toolkit to support rational design of combination therapies and biomarker discovery: SiViT [PDF]
, 2016 Targeted cancer therapy aims to disrupt aberrant cellular signalling pathways. Biomarkers are surrogates of pathway state, but there is limited success in translating candidate biomarkers to clinical practice due to the intrinsic complexity of pathway ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The mitochondrial outer membrane iron–sulphur ([Fe‐S]) protein mitoNEET is a target of the type‐2 diabetes drug pioglitazone. Its unknown molecular function is linked to respiratory complex activity and mitochondrial function. We discovered that O2 protects the mitoNEET [2Fe‐2S] cluster against NO oxidation and desensitization towards reduction by H2S.

Interaction of the pioneer transcription factor GATA3 with nucleosomes
Nature Communications, 2020 GATA 3 functions as a pioneer factor during cellular reprogramming. Here the authors delineate nucleosome positioning relative to GATA3 binding motifs and describe the structure of a GATA3–nucleosome complex; providing insight into how a pioneer factor ...

Loop Quantum Theory Applied to Biology and Nonlinear Whole Biology [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The loop quantum theory, which constitutes a very small discontinuous space, as new method is applied to biology. The model of protein folding and lungs is proposed. In the model, some known results are used, and four approximate conclusions are obtained: their structures are quantized, their space regions are finite, various singularities correspond ...

Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...

A Distribution Function Arising in Computational Biology
, 2000 Karlin and Altschul in their statistical analysis for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences introduced a distribution function which gives the probability there are at least r distinct and consistently ordered segment pairs all with score
