Ligand Binding, Protein Fluctuations, and Allosteric Free Energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Although the importance of protein dynamics in protein function is generally recognized, the role of protein fluctuations in allosteric effects scarcely has been considered. To address this gap, the Kullback-Leibler divergence (Dx) between protein conformational distributions before and after ligand binding was proposed as a means of quantifying ...

Integrative analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients: a comprehensive approach

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study simultaneously investigated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. The elevated expression of JUNB and CXCR4 in CTCs was a poor prognostic factor for SCLC patients, whereas exosomal overexpression of these biomarkers revealed a high discrimination ability of patients from healthy individuals,

Stability Analysis of a Bulk-Surface Reaction Model for Membrane-Protein Clustering [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Protein aggregation on the plasma membrane (PM) is of critical importance to many cellular processes such as cell adhesion, endocytosis, fibrillar conformation, and vesicle transport. Lateral diffusion of protein aggregates or clusters on the surface of the PM plays an important role in governing their heterogeneous surface distribution.

Detection rate for ESR1 mutations is higher in circulating‐tumor‐cell‐derived genomic DNA than in paired plasma cell‐free DNA samples as revealed by ddPCR

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Stochastic Ratchet Mechanisms for Replacement of Proteins Bound to DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Experiments indicate that unbinding rates of proteins from DNA can depend on the concentration of proteins in nearby solution. Here we present a theory of multi-step replacement of DNA-bound proteins by solution-phase proteins. For four different kinetic scenarios we calculate the depen- dence of protein unbinding and replacement rates on solution ...

Polyfunctional CD8+CD226+RUNX2hi effector T cells are diminished in advanced stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CD226+CD8+ T cells express elevated levels of RUNX2, exhibit higher proliferation capacity, cytokines and cytolytic molecules expression, and migratory capacity. In contrast, CD226−CD8+ T cells display an exhausted phenotype associated with the increased expression of co‐inhibitory receptors and impaired effector functions.

Inhibition of acyl‐CoA synthetase long‐chain isozymes decreases multiple myeloma cell proliferation and causes mitochondrial dysfunction

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Triacsin C inhibition of the acyl‐CoA synthetase long chain (ACSL) family decreases multiple myeloma cell survival, proliferation, mitochondrial respiration, and membrane potential. Made with Biorender.com. Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable cancer of plasma cells with a 5‐year survival rate of 59%.

On drug transport after intravenous administration [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
A mathematical model of a drug transport after rapid injection is given. It takes into account three processes: - drug plasma protein binding in central compartment - transport processes between the central compartment and the peripheral compartment - elimination of a drug from the central compartment. .

Plasma protein binding of fentanyl

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1981
Abstract Whole plasma of 15 normal volunteers bound 79·16% ± 0·16 s.e. (n = 45) of fentanyl, at a concentration of 0·6 ng ml−1. Measurement was by equilibrium dialysis at 37°C, pH 7·4. The largest contribution to binding appears to be due to serum albumin, since 45·52% ± 0·40 s.e.

Corticosteroids in liver disease: Studies on the biological conversion of prednisone to prednisolone and plasma protein binding

open access: yesGut, 1972
The conversion of prednisone to the biologically active corticosteroid prednisolone and the degree of plasma protein binding of prednisolone were studied in 22 patients with acute or chronic liver disease and in eight control subjects.
