Mapping protein–protein interactions by mass spectrometry
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for numerous biological activities, including signal transduction, transcription control, and metabolism. They play a pivotal role in the organization and function of the proteome, and their perturbation is associated with various diseases, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and infectious ...

Raman tweezers provide the fingerprint of cells supporting the late stages of KSHV reactivation [PDF]
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has both latent and lytic phases of replication. The molecular switch that triggers a reactivation is still unclear. Cells from S phase of cell cycle provide apt conditions for an active reactivation.

Exploring the Hemoglobin T to R2 Path Using Gaussian Elastic Network Correlation Map Distance
ABSTRACT Proteins are dynamic and undergo conformational changes. These changes may affect the motions executed by different regions of the proteins and are reflected in the motion correlation map. A method to accurately measure these changes is presented and exemplified on a set of tetrameric Hemoglobin structures.
