Protein cages as building blocks for superstructures

open access: yesEngineering Biology, 2021
Proteins naturally self‐assemble to function. Protein cages result from the self‐assembly of multiple protein subunits that interact to form hollow symmetrical structures with functions that range from cargo storage to catalysis. Driven by self‐assembly,

Role of Membrane Biophysics in Alzheimer's - related cell pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Cellular membrane alterations are commonly observed in many diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Membrane biophysical properties, such as membrane molecular order, membrane fluidity, organization of lipid rafts, and adhesion between membrane and

Expanding the scale of molecular biophysics [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Biology, 2016
Here, I argue that some of the secrets of complex biological function rely on assemblies of many heterogeneous proteins that together enable sophisticated sensing and actuating processes. Evolution seems to delight in making these structures and in continually elaborating upon their capabilities.

Anoxia-induced hippocampal LTP is regeneratively produced by glutamate and nitric oxide from the neuro-glial-endothelial axis

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Transient anoxia causes amnesia and neuronal death. This is attributed to enhanced glutamate release and modeled as anoxia-induced long-term potentiation (aLTP).

Data-driven enzyme immobilisation: a case study using DNA to immobilise galactose oxidase

open access: yesEngineering Biology, 2020
Biocatalysis has the potential to enable green chemistry. New methods of enzyme immobilisation will be required to improve enzyme stability, product purification, and compatibility of different enzymes in the same reaction conditions.

Biophysics: Concepts and Fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There is an idiom that “biophysicist is who discusses about biology when meets physicist, talks about physics when meets biologist and says joke when meets another biophysicist”. This idiom points to multidisciplinary nature of biophysics but what really

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

A Membrane-Bound Biosensor Visualizes Shear Stress-Induced Inhomogeneous Alteration of Cell Membrane Tension

open access: yesiScience, 2018
Summary: Cell membrane is the first medium from where a cell senses and responds to external stress stimuli. Exploring the tension changes in cell membrane will help us to understand intracellular force transmission.
