Shigella IpaA mediates actin bundling through diffusible vinculin oligomers with activation imprint

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Upon activation, vinculin reinforces cytoskeletal anchorage during cell adhesion. Activating ligands classically disrupt intramolecular interactions between the vinculin head and tail domains that bind to actin filaments.

A Polarizable Atomic Multipole-Based Force Field for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Anionic Lipids

Molecules, 2017
In all of the classical force fields, electrostatic interaction is simply treated and explicit electronic polarizability is neglected. The condensed-phase polarization, relative to the gas-phase charge distributions, is commonly accounted for in an ...

On the zwitterionic nature of gas-phase peptides and protein ions. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2010
Determining the total number of charged residues corresponding to a given value of net charge for peptides and proteins in gas phase is crucial for the interpretation of mass-spectrometry data, yet it is far from being understood.

The effect of driving force on intramolecular electron transfer in proteins [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992
An intramolecular electron‐transfer process has previously been shown to take place between the Cys3‐Cys26 radical‐ion (RSSR−) produced pulse radiolytically and the Cu(II) ion in the blue single‐copper protein, azurin [Farver, O. & Pecht, I. (1989) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 86, 6868–6972].
