In silico Study of Iron, Zinc and Copper Binding Proteins of Pseudomonas syringae pv. lapsa: Emphasis on Secreted Metalloproteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The phytopathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas syringae pv. lapsa (P. syringae pv. lapsa) infects the staple food crop wheat. Metalloproteins play important roles in plant-pathogen interactions. Hence, the present work is aimed to predict and analyze the iron

Uranyl Binding to Proteins and Structural-Functional Impacts

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The widespread use of uranium for civilian purposes causes a worldwide concern of its threat to human health due to the long-lived radioactivity of uranium and the high toxicity of uranyl ion (UO22+).

Reflections on the Origin of Coded Protein Biosynthesis

open access: yesBiomolecules
The principle of continuity posits that some central features of primordial biocatalytic mechanisms should still be present in the genetically dependent pathway of protein synthesis, a crucial step in the emergence of life.

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

A Personal Perspective on Metalloprotein Structure and the Future of Macromolecular X‐Ray Crystallography

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?

Quadrupolar metal ion NMR studies of metalloproteins

open access: yes, 1998
We present a summary of the quadrupolar metal ion NMR studies of metalloproteins conducted in our laboratory in recent years. The approaches we employ can be subdivided into two categories: (i) the use of low-frequency metal nuclei to probe metal ion ...
