Substrates modulate charge-reorganization allosteric effects in protein-protein association [PDF]
Protein function may be modulated by an event occurring far away from the functional site, a phenomenon termed allostery. While classically allostery involves conformational changes, we recently observed that charge redistribution within an antibody can also lead to an allosteric effect, modulating the kinetics of binding to target antigen.

Oxidative Stress in Antigen Processing and Presentation
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in antigen processing and presentation, essential for linking innate and adaptive immunity. While balanced ROS levels promote immune function, excess ROS can disrupt antigen recognition, resulting in immune dysfunction.

Computational Studies about the Interactions of Nanomaterials with Proteins and their Impacts [PDF]
Intensive concerns about the biosafety of nanomaterials demand the systematic study of the mechanisms about their biological effects. Many biological effects can be attributed to the interaction of nanomaterials with protein and their impacts on protein function.

Inferring interaction partners from protein sequences [PDF]
Specific protein-protein interactions are crucial in the cell, both to ensure the formation and stability of multi-protein complexes, and to enable signal transduction in various pathways. Functional interactions between proteins result in coevolution between the interaction partners, causing their sequences to be correlated.

Decarboxylases of histidine and ornithine in chick embryo [PDF]
Summary The activities of histidine and ornithine decarboxylases as well as the histamine content of the developing chick embryo were studied. Histidine decarboxylase (l‐histidine carboxy‐lyase; E.C. 4.1.1.22) activity was fairly low with a tendency to increase at later stages of development.

Oxidative stress in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been evidenced by accumulation of oxidatively modified products of nucleic acids, lipids, sugars, and proteins in the motor neuron system of brains and spinal cords obtained at autopsy from the patients.

Dynamical coupling between protein conformational fluctuation and hydration water: Heterogeneous dynamics of biological water [PDF]
We investigate dynamical coupling between water and amino acid side-chain residues in solvation dynamics by selecting residues often used as natural probes, namely tryptophan, tyrosine and histidine, located at different positions on protein surface and having various degrees of solvent exposure.

Xenopus NM23-X4 regulates retinal gliogenesis through interaction with p27Xic1 [PDF]
Background. In Xenopus retinogenesis, p27Xic1, a Xenopus cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, functions as a cell fate determinant in both gliogenesis and neurogenesis in a context dependent manner.
