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.

Theoretical study of intramolecular vibrational relaxation of acetylenic CH vibration for v=1 and 2 in large polyatomic molecules (CX3)3YCCH, where X=H or D and Y=C or Si [PDF]

, 1993
Quantum calculations are reported for the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution and absorption spectra of the first two excited states of the acetylenic CH stretch vibration in the polyatomic molecules (CX3)3YCCH, where X=H or D and Y=C or Si.

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 ...

Theory of mechanical unfolding of homopolymer globule: all-or-none transition in force-clamp mode vs phase coexistence in position-clamp mode

, 2012
Equilibrium mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by long flexible homopolymer chain collapsed in a poor solvent and subjected to an extensional force f (force-clamp mode) or extensional deformation D (position-clamp mode) is studied theoretically ...

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.

Linear response of a grafted semiflexible polymer to a uniform force field [PDF]

, 2004
We use the worm-like chain model to analytically calculate the linear response of a grafted semiflexible polymer to a uniform force field. The result is a function of the bending stiffness, the temperature, the total contour length, and the orientation ...
