Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization hydrogen/deuterium exchange studies to probe peptide conformational changes [PDF]
, 1999 Hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange chemistry monitored by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is used to study solution phase conformational changes of bradykinin, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, and ...

Import of honeybee prepromelittin into the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
, 1987 Honeybee prepromelittin is correctly processed and imported by dog pancreas microsomes. Insertion of prepromelittin into microsomal membranes, as assayed by signal sequence removal, does not depend on signal recognition particle (SRP) and docking protein.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The 3K‐AP system forms infinite supramolecular fibrils that undergo controlled degradation into shorter fragments upon enzymatic hydrolysis. Multitechnique imaging reveals a stepwise bacteriolytic mechanism involving bacterial entrapment, disassembly into lethal constructs, and associated extracellular vesicle release, highlighting the dynamic ...

Effect of bee venom and its fractions on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in PMA-differentiated U937 cells co-stimulated with LPS [PDF]
, 2016 The venom of Apis mellifera (honey bee) has been reported to play a role in immunotherapy, but existing evidence to support its immuno-modulatory claims is insufficient. Four fractions from whole bee venom (BV) were separated using medium pressure liquid

Biolipid Film‐Fused Electrochemiluminescence for Multipurpose In Situ Bioassays
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ECL‐emissive, membrane‐interactive scaffold was fabricated, and facilely fused with natural and non‐native phospholipids into multifactorial mimicries of cytomembranes and vesicles for in vitro representative membrane‐process probing. Such a biointerface‐based, state‐sensitive ECL paradigm not only pinpointed proximal phenomena, including channeling

Exploitation of proteomics strategies in protein structure-function studies [PDF]
, 2003 Mass spectrometry plays a central role in structural proteomics, particularly in highly intensive structural genomics projects. This review paper reports some examples taken from recent work from the authors' laboratory and is aimed at showing that modem
