Neck linker docking is critical for Kinesin-1 force generation in cells but at a cost to motor speed and processivity. [PDF]
Kinesin force generation involves ATP-induced docking of the neck linker (NL) along the motor core. However, the roles of the proposed steps of NL docking, cover-neck bundle (CNB) and asparagine latch (N-latch) formation, during force generation are ...

Mechanistic Insight into the Enzymatic Reduction of Truncated Hemoglobin N of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: role of the CD loop and pre-A Motif in electron cycling [PDF]
Background: The HbN of Mycobacterium tuberculosis carries a potent nitric-oxide dioxygenase activity despite lacking a reductase domain. Results: The NADH-ferredoxin reductase system acts as an efficient partner for the reduction of HbN.

Formation and structure of the ferryl [Fe=O] in-termediate in the non-haem iron halogenase SyrB2: classical and QM/MM modelling agree [PDF]
To rationalise mechanistically the intriguing regio- and chemoselectivity patterns for different substrates of the non-haem iron/2-oxoglutarate dependent halogenase SyrB2, it is crucial to elucidate the structure of the pivotal [FeIV[double bond, length ...

All-atom simulations reveal how single point mutations promote serpin misfolding
Protein misfolding is implicated in many diseases, including the serpinopathies. For the canonical inhibitory serpin {\alpha}1-antitrypsin (A1AT), mutations can result in protein deficiencies leading to lung disease, and misfolded mutants can accumulate ...
