Molecular dynamics simulations in photosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesPhotosynthesis Research, 2020
AbstractPhotosynthesis is regulated by a dynamic interplay between proteins, enzymes, pigments, lipids, and cofactors that takes place on a large spatio-temporal scale. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide a powerful toolkit to investigate dynamical processes in (bio)molecular ensembles from the (sub)picosecond to the (sub)millisecond regime and

Natural Polyphenols Inhibit the Dimerization of the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease: The Case of Fortunellin and Its Structural Analogs

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
3CL-Pro is the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (MPro). It acts as a homodimer to cleave the large polyprotein 1ab transcript into proteins that are necessary for viral growth and replication.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The structural integrity of human TFF1 under reducing conditions

open access: yesRedox Biology
The trefoil factor family (TFF) comprises three secretory peptides (TFF1, TFF2, TFF3) that regulate diverse physiological processes to maintain gastrointestinal mucosal integrity and homeostasis.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Entropic Effects of Interacting Particles Diffusing on Spherical Surfaces

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
We present a molecular dynamics and theoretical study on the diffusion of interacting particles embedded on the surface of a sphere. By proposing five different interaction potentials among particles, we perform molecular dynamics simulations and ...

Keratin 19 as a prognostic marker and contributing factor of metastasis and chemoresistance in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Haptic feedback for molecular simulation [PDF]

open access: yes2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009
In this paper, a new tool dedicated to the analysis and the conception of molecules is presented. It is composed of an adaptive simulation software and a haptic device used to interact with molecules while feeling either the forces applied by the environment or the internal forces.
