C2α‐carbanion‐protonating glutamate discloses tradeoffs between substrate accommodation and reaction rate in actinobacterial 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Enzymes of the 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase group catalyze the condensation of formyl‐CoA with aldehydes or ketones. Thus, by structural adaptation of active sites, practically any pharmaceutically and industrially important 2‐hydroxyacid could be biotechnologically synthesized. Combining crystal structure analysis, active site mutations and kinetic assays,

Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Empirical Observations on Soy Lecithin Liposome Preparation

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2016
Soy lecithin is a phospholipid often used in liposome formulations. Determination of water and phospholipid composition is one of the problems in the liposome formulation.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Abstract P-2: Modeling Encapsulated Lipid Molecules in Cryo-EM Maps of Membrane Complexes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomedicine, 2019
Background: Membrane complexes are of great importance for cell functioning. Among the best studied complexes are rotor ATPases which create ATP from ADP, or vice versa (J.E. Walker, Biochem. Soc. Trans. 41, pp. 1-16, 2013).

Dynamics and calcium association to the N-terminal regulatory domain of human cardiac troponin C: a multiscale computational study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Troponin C (TnC) is an important regulatory molecule in cardiomyocytes. Calcium binding to site II in TnC initiates a series of molecular events that result in muscle contraction.

Promiscuous stimulation of HSP70 ATPase activity by parasite‐derived J‐domains

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exports three highly homologous yet functionally divergent J‐domain proteins into human erythrocytes. Here, we show that J‐domains isolated from all three proteins effectively stimulate the ATPase activity of both endogenous host and exported parasite HSP70 chaperones.

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Rotational dynamics and friction in double-walled carbon nanotubes

open access: yes, 2006
We report a study of the rotational dynamics in double-walled nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulations and a simple analytical model reproducing very well the observations.

Glassy behavior of a homopolymer from molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We study at- and out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a single homopolymer chain at low temperature using molecular dynamics simulations. The main quantities of interest are the average root mean square displacement of the monomers below the theta point, and ...

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.
