Population Shuffling of Protein Conformations [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2014 AbstractMotions play a vital role in the functions of many proteins. Discrete conformational transitions to excited states, happening on timescales of hundreds of microseconds, have been extensively characterized. On the other hand, the dynamics of the ground state are widely unexplored.

Protein Adsorption and Conformational Changes [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Protein adsorption onto surfaces of diverse materials of both natural and artificial origin is of utmost relevance in many areas of research and technology: medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, analytical sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and cell biology, among others [...]

Biomolecules, 2019 De novo protein synthesis by the ribosome and its multitude of co-factors must occur in a tightly regulated manner to ensure that the correct proteins are produced accurately at the right time and, in some cases, also in the proper location.

Genome-wide Translation Profiling by Ribosome-Bound tRNA Capture
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: In the ribosome complex, tRNA is a critical element of mRNA translation. A rich repertoire of cell regulation is hypothesized to occur during the recruitment of specific tRNAs in polypeptide formation.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Nano letters (Print), 2021 For nanocarriers with low protein affinity, we show that the interaction of nanocarriers with cells is mainly affected by the density, the molecular weight, and the conformation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains bound to the nanocarrier surface.

Sequence-Dependent Correlated Segments in the Intrinsically Disordered Region of ChiZ
Biomolecules, 2020 How sequences of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) code for their conformational dynamics is poorly understood. Here, we combined NMR spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the ...
