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

Tracing conformational changes in proteins [PDF]
2009 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine Workshop, 2009 Many proteins undergo extensive conformational changes as part of their functionality. Tracing these changes is important for understanding the way these proteins function. Traditional biophysics-based conformational search methods require a large number of calculations and are hard to apply to large-scale conformational motions.In this work we ...

Novel ADAMTS13 mutations in a patient with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Hematology, 2023 Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene. Approximately 200 mutations of the ADAMTS-13 gene have been identified, although only a few have been ...

Dependence of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations on protein shape [PDF]
, 2022 Membrane proteins typically deform the surrounding lipid bilayer membrane, which can play an important role in the function, regulation, and organization of membrane proteins. Membrane elasticity theory provides a beautiful description of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations, in which all physical parameters can be directly determined from ...

Aβ Secretion and Plaque Formation Depend on Autophagy
Cell Reports, 2013 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease biochemically characterized by aberrant protein aggregation, including amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide accumulation. Protein aggregates in the cell are cleared by autophagy, a mechanism impaired in AD. To
