FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Proline puckering parameters for collagen structure simulations
AIP Advances, 2015 Collagen is made of triple helices rich in proline residues, and hence is influenced by the conformational motions of prolines. Because the backbone motions of prolines are restricted by the helical structures, the only side chain motion—proline ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2023 The management adopted for the mango crop requires that, at a certain stage, the irrigation depth should be reduced to promote a more uniform flowering. In regard to that, it is necessary to introduce new alternatives that mitigate the harmful effects of

Uncovering the Mechanism of Aggregation of Human Transthyretin. [PDF]
, 2015 The tetrameric thyroxine transport protein transthyretin (TTR) forms amyloid fibrils upon dissociation and monomer unfolding. The aggregation of transthyretin has been reported as the cause of the life-threatening transthyretin amyloidosis.

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...
