VISTRAJ: exploring protein conformational space [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2001
Abstract Summary: VISTRAJ is an application which allows 3D visualization, manipulation and editing of protein conformational space using probabilistic maps of this space called ‘trajectory distributions’. Trajectory distributions serve as input to FOLDTRAJ which samples protein structures based on the represented conformational space ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Isoflurane's Effect on Protein Conformation as a Proposed Mechanism for Preconditioning

open access: yesBiochemistry Research International, 2011
Persistent alteration of protein conformation due to interaction with isoflurane may be a novel molecular aspect of preconditioning. We preincubated human serum albumin with isoflurane, dialyzed to release agent, and assessed protein conformation ...

Conformation and Aggregation of Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Green Tea Polyphenol (EGCg) and/or Palmitic Acid

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) may have roles in preventing some chronic diseases when they are ingested as components of plant-based foods and beverages. Human serum albumin (HSA) is a multi-domain protein that binds various ligands

Effective Sampling in the Configurational Space by the Multicanonical-Multioverlap Algorithm

open access: yes, 2006
We propose a new generalized-ensemble algorithm, which we refer to as the multicanonical-multioverlap algorithm. By utilizing a non-Boltzmann weight factor, this method realizes a random walk in the multi-dimensional, energy-overlap space and explores ...

Differential Scanning Calorimetry — A Method for Assessing the Thermal Stability and Conformation of Protein Antigen

open access: yesJournal of Visualized Experiments, 2017
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is an analytical technique that measures the molar heat capacity of samples as a function of temperature. In the case of protein samples, DSC profiles provide information about thermal stability, and to some extent

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Insights into the mechanism of reversible blood‐brain barrier opening via second near‐infrared region excited gold nanorods photothermal effect: Regulation of the tight junction protein occludin

open access: yesSmart Molecules
This study constructed an in vitro blood‐brain barrier (BBB) transwell model to investigate the regulatory effects and mechanisms of the photothermal effects of gold nanorods (AuNRs) excited by the second near‐infrared region (NIR‐II) on BBB permeability.

Conformational Dynamics Simulations of Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins provide descriptions of atomic motions, which allow to relate observable properties of proteins to microscopic processes. Unfortunately, such MD simulations require an enormous amount of computer time and, therefore, are limited to time scales of nanoseconds.
