Molecular theory of hydrophobic mismatch between lipids and peptides
, 2001 Effects of the mismatch between the hydrophobic length, d, of transmembrane alpha helices of integral proteins and the hydrophobic thickness, D_h, of the membranes they span are studied theoretically utilizing a microscopic model of lipids. In particular,

Structural and biophysical analysis of important biomedical enzymes and nano-architectures [PDF]
, 2008 Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) is an important enzyme in the catecholamine biosynthesis pathways. Catecholamines, e.g., dopamine, serotonin, etc. often are the major neuromodulators or neurotransmitters.

HPEPDOCK: a web server for blind peptide–protein docking based on a hierarchical algorithm
Nucleic Acids Res., 2018 Protein–peptide interactions are crucial in many cellular functions. Therefore, determining the structure of protein–peptide complexes is important for understanding the molecular mechanism of related biological processes and developing peptide drugs ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes generated in the presence of viral- derived peptides show exquisite peptide and MHC specificity [PDF]
, 1993 The nature of alloreactivity to MHC molecules has been enigmatic, primarily because of the observation that allogeneic responses are considerably stronger than syngeneic responses. To better determine the specificity potential of allogeneic responses, we

Fibrillisation of hydrophobically modified amyloid peptide fragments in an organic solvent [PDF]
, 2007 The self-assembly of a hydrophobically modified fragment of the amyloid beta(A beta) peptide has been studied in methanol. The peptide FFKLVFF is based on A beta(16-20) extended at the N terminus by two phenylalanine residues.

Feedback Inhibition of CREB Signaling Promotes Beta Cell Dysfunction in Insulin Resistance
Cell Reports, 2015 Although persistent elevations in circulating glucose concentrations promote compensatory increases in pancreatic islet mass, unremitting insulin resistance causes deterioration in beta cell function that leads to the progression to diabetes.
