Quercetin 3, 3′, 4′, 5, 7-O- pentasulfate (QPS): A novel activator of protein disulfide isomerase

open access: yesMedicine in Drug Discovery, 2020
Aims: Design and synthesis of a novel 3, 3′, 4′, 5, 7-O- pentasulfated Quercetin (QPS) as an activator of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Main Methods: Based on an in silico analysis we show that QPS binds to a and b domain of PDI (−7.4 kcal/mol ...

Monoclonal Antibodies as Probes to Study Ligand-Induced Conformations of Troponin Subunits

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Striated muscle contraction and relaxation is regulated by Ca2+ at the myofilament level via conformational modulations of the troponin complex. To understand the structure–function relationship of troponin in normal muscle and in myopathies, it is ...

A New Function for Amyloid-Like Interactions: Cross-Beta Aggregates of Adhesins form Cell-to-Cell Bonds

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Amyloid structures assemble through a repeating type of bonding called “cross-β”, in which identical sequences in many protein molecules form β-sheets that interdigitate through side chain interactions.

Cooperative Gating and Spatial Organization of Membrane Proteins through Elastic Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
