Site Selective Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugation via Microbial Transglutaminase. [PDF]
Nucleic Acid Therapeutics (NATs), including siRNAs and AntiSense Oligonucleotides (ASOs), have great potential to drug the undruggable genome. Targeting siRNAs and ASOs to specific cell types of interest has driven dramatic improvement in efficacy and ...

Alanine zipper-like coiled-coil domains are necessary for homotypic dimerization of plant GAGA-factors in the nucleus and nucleolus. [PDF]
GAGA-motif binding proteins control transcriptional activation or repression of homeotic genes. Interestingly, there are no sequence similarities between animal and plant proteins.

Bioinformatics Analysis of the Periodicity in Proteins with Coiled-Coil Structure—Enumerating All Decompositions of Sequence Periods [PDF]
A coiled coil is a structural motif in proteins that consists of at least two α-helices wound around each other. For structural stabilization, these α-helices form interhelical contacts via their amino acid side chains. However, there are restrictions as

Modelling bispecific monoclonal antibody interaction with two cell membrane targets indicates the importance of surface diffusion [PDF]
We have developed a mathematical framework for describing a bispecific monoclonal antibody interaction with two independent membrane-bound targets that are expressed on the same cell surface.

Molecular basis of myosin assembly: coiled-coil interactions and the role of charge periodicities [PDF]
Complementation of alternating zones of positive and negative charge in the myosin rod enables molecules to interact in a number of ways. This accounts for the complexity of the molecular organisation of thick filaments.

Computational design of water-soluble α-helical barrels [PDF]
The design of protein sequences that fold into prescribed de novo structures is challenging. General solutions to this problem require geometric descriptions of protein folds and methods to fit sequences to these.
