Development and evaluation of Hsp90-targeting nanobodies for visualisation of extracellular Hsp90 in tumours using PET imaging

open access: yesEJNMMI Radiopharmacy and Chemistry
Background The extracellular localisation of the Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is associated with the diseased state and wound healing and presents a promising opportunity for cancer targeting using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and ...

Folding and Stability of Ankyrin Repeats Control Biological Protein Function

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Ankyrin repeat proteins are found in all three kingdoms of life. Fundamentally, these proteins are involved in protein-protein interaction in order to activate or suppress biological processes. The basic architecture of these proteins comprises repeating

Quantification of finite-temperature effects on adsorption geometries of $\pi$-conjugated molecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The adsorption structure of the molecular switch azobenzene on Ag(111) is investigated by a combination of normal incidence x-ray standing waves and dispersion-corrected density functional theory. The inclusion of non-local collective substrate response (

Molecular switch of EZH2 in hypoxia [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2016
Over the past decades, several reports on a non-canonical function of Ezh2 and discoveries of its novel partners, other than its canonical PRC2 members i.e.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Radically Enhanced Molecular Switches [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2012
The mechanism governing the redox-stimulated switching behavior of a tristable [2]rotaxane consisting of a cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) ring encircling a dumbbell, containing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 1,5-dioxynaphthalene (DNP) recognition units which are separated from each other along a polyether chain carrying 2,6-diisopropylphenyl ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Functional Conservation of the Small GTPase Rho5/Rac1—A Tale of Yeast and Men

open access: yesCells
Small GTPases are molecular switches that participate in many essential cellular processes. Amongst them, human Rac1 was first described for its role in regulating actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell migration, with a close relation to carcinogenesis ...

Redox-Dependent Conformational Switching of Diphenylacetylenes

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Herein we describe the design and synthesis of a redox-dependent single-molecule switch. Appending a ferrocene unit to a diphenylacetylene scaffold gives a redox-sensitive handle, which undergoes reversible one-electron oxidation, as demonstrated by ...
