Homology modelling of transferrin-binding protein A from Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
Neisseria meningitidis, a causative agent of bacterial meningitis, obtains transferrin-bound iron by expressing two outer membrane located transferrin-binding proteins, TbpA and TbpB.

INTRINSIC PROTEIN DISORDER AND PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS [PDF]
Intrinsically disordered proteins often bind to more than one partner. In this study, we focused on 11 sets of complexes in which the same disordered segment becomes bound to two or more distinct partners. For this collection of protein complexes, two or more partners of each disordered segment were selected to have less than 25% amino acid identity ...

Accurate prediction of protein structures and interactions using a 3-track neural network
Deep learning takes on protein folding In 1972, Anfinsen won a Nobel prize for demonstrating a connection between a protein's amino acid sequence and its three-dimensional structure.

Near-Wall Aggregation of Amyloidogenic Aβ 1-40 Peptide: Direct Observation by the FRET
The formation of amyloid fibrils is one of the variants of the self-organization of polypeptide chains. For the amyloid aggregation, the solution must be oversaturated with proteins.

Protein–Protein and Protein–Membrane Associations in the Lignin Pathway [PDF]
Supramolecular organization of enzymes is proposed to orchestrate metabolic complexity and help channel intermediates in different pathways. Phenylpropanoid metabolism has to direct up to 30% of the carbon fixed by plants to the biosynthesis of lignin precursors. Effective coupling of the enzymes in the pathway thus seems to be required.

Cryo-EM demonstrates the in vitro proliferation of an ex vivo amyloid fibril morphology by seeding
Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structure of in vitro amyloid fibrils from recombinant SAA1.1 protein that were formed by seeding with fibrils purified from systemic AA amyloidosis tissue.

Morphology of protein–protein interfaces [PDF]
Most soluble proteins are active as low-number oligomers. Statistical surveys of oligomeric proteins have defined the roles of hydrophobicity and complementarity in the stability of protein interfaces, but tend to average structural features over a diverse set of protein-protein interfaces, blurring information on how individual interfaces are ...
