Develop machine learning based predictive models for engineering protein solubility [PDF]
Protein activity is a significant characteristic for recombinant proteins which can be used as biocatalysts. High activity of proteins reduces the cost of biocatalysts. A model that can predict protein activity from amino acid sequence is highly desired, as it aids experimental improvement of proteins.

Evolutionary insights into premetazoan functions of the neuronal protein homer. [PDF]
Reconstructing the evolution and ancestral functions of synaptic proteins promises to shed light on how neurons first evolved. The postsynaptic density (PSD) protein Homer scaffolds membrane receptors and regulates Ca(2+) signaling in diverse metazoan ...

Conformational selection in protein binding and function
Protein binding and function often involves conformational changes. Advanced NMR experiments indicate that these conformational changes can occur in the absence of ligand molecules (or with bound ligands), and that the ligands may 'select' protein ...

Structural basis of TFIIH activation for nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH).

Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different

A Preliminary Work on Evolutionary Identification of Protein Variants and New Proteins on Grids [PDF]
Protein identification is one of the major task of Proteomics researchers. Protein identification could be resumed by searching the best match between an experimental mass spectrum and proteins from a database. Nevertheless this approach can not be used to identify new proteins or protein variants.

The structure of protein molecules : in celebration of the International Year of Crystallography, 2014 [PDF]
Many people, including laymen, are aware of the double helical nature of the DNA molecule. A few may actually realise that it was the technique of X-ray crystallography that was the key to solving this structure.

Understanding Functional Protein-Protein Interactions Of ABCB11 And ADA In Human And Mouse [PDF]
Proteins are macromolecules which hardly act alone; they need to make interactions with some other proteins to do so. Numerous factors are there which can regulate the interactions between proteins [4]. Here in this present study we aim to understand Protein -Protein Interactions (PPIs) of two proteins ABCB11 and ADA from quantitative point of view ...

Characterization of nuclear polyadenylated RNA-binding proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
To study the functions of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs), we have characterized nuclear polyadenylated RNA-binding (Nab) proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
