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

Mobility Measurements Probe Conformational Changes in Membrane Proteins due to Tension
The function of membrane-embedded proteins such as ion channels depends crucially on their conformation. We demonstrate how conformational changes in asymmetric membrane proteins may be inferred from measurements of their diffusion.

Identifying the protein folding nucleus using molecular dynamics [PDF]
Molecular dynamics simulations of folding in an off-lattice protein model reveal a nucleation scenario, in which a few well-defined contacts are formed with high probability in the transition state ensemble of conformations.

MAD1: Kinetochore Receptors and Catalytic Mechanisms
The mitotic checkpoint monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment, delays anaphase onset and prevents aneuploidy when unattached or tensionless kinetochores are present in cells.

Ligand Binding, Protein Fluctuations, and Allosteric Free Energy [PDF]
Although the importance of protein dynamics in protein function is generally recognized, the role of protein fluctuations in allosteric effects scarcely has been considered. To address this gap, the Kullback-Leibler divergence (Dx) between protein conformational distributions before and after ligand binding was proposed as a means of quantifying ...

CLP-based protein fragment assembly
The paper investigates a novel approach, based on Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), to predict the 3D conformation of a protein via fragments assembly. The fragments are extracted by a preprocessor-also developed for this work- from a database of known
