Characterizing Post-Translational Modifications and Their Effects on Protein Conformation Using NMR Spectroscopy. [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2020 The diversity of the cellular proteome substantially exceeds the number of genes coded by the DNA of an organism because one or more residues in a majority of eukaryotic proteins are post-translationally modified (PTM) by the covalent conjugation of ...

Cooperative Gating and Spatial Organization of Membrane Proteins through Elastic Interactions [PDF]
, 2007 Biological membranes are elastic media in which the presence of a transmembrane protein leads to local bilayer deformation. The energetics of deformation allow two membrane proteins in close proximity to influence each other's equilibrium conformation via their local deformations, and spatially organize the proteins based on their geometry.

DynaMut: predicting the impact of mutations on protein conformation, flexibility and stability. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Res, 2018 Proteins are highly dynamic molecules, whose function is intrinsically linked to their molecular motions. Despite the pivotal role of protein dynamics, their computational simulation cost has led to most structure-based approaches for assessing the ...

Protein Conformation Generation via Force-Guided SE(3) Diffusion Models [PDF]
arXivThe conformational landscape of proteins is crucial to understanding their functionality in complex biological processes. Traditional physics-based computational methods, such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, suffer from rare event sampling and long equilibration time problems, hindering their applications in general protein systems.

Phosphorylation of huntingtin at residue T3 is decreased in Huntington's disease and modulates mutant huntingtin protein conformation. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance The findings in this manuscript report on the identification of a posttranslational modification in the huntingtin protein (phosphorylation on residue T3 in the N17 region of the protein), which can revert the conformational effects of the ...

Protein conformation in a vaccine matters. [PDF]
Oncotarget, 2015 Vaccination is one of the most successful public health measures for control of viral diseases. Indeed, vaccines have either eliminated or considerably reduced many viral diseases worldwide. However, there are still many serious viral pathogens for which no vaccine is available. One of these pathogens is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
