Protein folding using contact maps [PDF]
, 1999 We present the development of the idea to use dynamics in the space of contact maps as a computational approach to the protein folding problem. We first introduce two important technical ingredients, the reconstruction of a three dimensional conformation from a contact map and the Monte Carlo dynamics in contact map space.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.T2DM is characterized by peripheral blood insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction. Here, we showed that AQP7, the only aquaglyceroporin protein, regulates autophagy and apoptosis in pancreatic β‐cells. We propose the existence of a positive feedback loop between MAPK signaling and AQP7 that regulates autophagy and apoptosis in ...

Emergence of clonal selection and affinity maturation in an ab initio microscopic model of immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Mechanisms of immunity, and of the host-pathogen interactions in general are among the most fundamental problems of medicine, ecology, and evolution studies. Here, we present a microscopic, protein-level, sequence-based model of immune system, with explicitly defined interactions between host and pathogen proteins..

Establishment and biological characterization of radioresistant colorectal cancer cell lines
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under ionizing radiation exposure, radiation‐sensitive cancer cells exhibit oxidative stress and DNA damage, while radiation‐resistant cancer cells exhibit strong antioxidant properties and DNA damage repair. Radiotherapy resistance is a major cause of recurrence and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Marine Science and Technology Bulletin, 2018 The immunoglobulins (Igs) were isolated and purified respectively from serum of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) and Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) by using 50% saturated ammonium sulfate precipitation. Analysis of the purified Ig of the two

De novo inference of diversity genes and analysis of non-canonical V(DD)J recombination in immunoglobulins [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The V(D)J recombination forms the immunoglobulin genes by joining the variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) germline genes. Since variations in germline genes have been linked to various diseases, personalized immunogenomics aims at finding alleles of germline genes across various patients.

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Dynamic model of HIV infection with immune system response of T-lymphocytes, B-cells and dendritic cells: a review [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A dynamic model of non-lineal time-dependent ordinary differential equations (ODE) has been applied to the interactions of a HIV infection with the immune system cells. This model has been simplified into two compartments: lymph node and peripheral blood.
