Ligand Binding, Protein Fluctuations, and Allosteric Free Energy [PDF]
Although the importance of protein dynamics in protein function is generally recognized, the role of protein fluctuations in allosteric effects scarcely has been considered.

Genome-wide organization of eukaryotic pre-initiation complex is influenced by nonconsensus protein-DNA binding [PDF]
Genome-wide binding preferences of the key components of eukaryotic pre-initiation complex (PIC) have been recently measured with high resolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Rhee and Pugh (Nature (2012) 483:295-301).

CircGLIS3 Promotes High-Grade Glioma Invasion via Modulating Ezrin Phosphorylation
High-grade glioma is highly invasive and malignant, resistant to combined therapies, and easy to relapse. A better understanding of circular RNA (circRNA) biological function in high-grade glioma might contribute to the therapeutic efficacy.

A common theme in interaction of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins with immunoglobulins illustrated in the equine system [PDF]
The M protein of Streptococcus equi subsp. equi known as fibrinogen-binding protein (FgBP) is a cell wall-associated protein with antiphagocytic activity that binds IgG. Recombinant versions of the seven equine IgG subclasses were used to investigate the

Unraveling Hepcidin Plasma Protein Binding: Evidence from Peritoneal Equilibration Testing
Peptide hormone hepcidin regulates systemic iron metabolism and has been described to be partially bound to α2-macroglobulin and albumin in blood. However, the reported degree of hepcidin protein binding varies between <3% and ≈89%.

Differential interaction of glimepiride and glibenclamide with the β-cell sulfonylurea receptor II [PDF]
Glimepiride is a novel sulfonylurea for the treatment of type II-diabetic patients exhibiting different receptor binding kinetics to β-cell membranes with 8–9-fold higher koff rate and 2.5–3-fold higher kon rate compared to glibenclamide (see ...

Arsenic is a trace element found in the earth’s crust at an average concentration of ∼5 μg/g (ppm). Although its relative abundance in the earth’s crust is about 54th, arsenic can become concentrated in some parts of the world because of natural mineralization. Arsenic is a component of 245 minerals, associated most frequently with other metals such as
