Progress on the Mechanism of Interaction between Volatile Flavor Substances and Muscle Proteins

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji
Flavor significantly influences the quality of meat and meat products. The dynamic equilibrium between the release and retention of volatile flavor compounds, influenced by the interaction of muscle proteins and flavor compounds, is crucial in ...

Protein Conformational Dynamics upon Association with the Surfaces of Lipid Membranes and Engineered Nanoparticles: Insights from Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Detailed study of conformational rearrangements and dynamics of proteins is central to our understanding of their physiological functions and the loss of function.

Understanding protein diffusion on force-induced stretched DNA conformation

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
DNA morphology is subjected to environmental conditions and is closely coupled with its function. For example, DNA experiences stretching forces during several biological processes, including transcription and genome transactions, that significantly ...

A gp41 MPER-specific llama VHH requires a hydrophobic CDR3 for neutralization but not for antigen recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp41 is targeted by the broadly neutralizing antibodies 2F5 and 4E10. To date, no immunization regimen in animals or humans has produced HIV-1 neutralizing MPER-specific antibodies ...

PATHOLOGIC CONFORMATIONS OF PRION PROTEINS [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 1998
While many aspects of prion disease biology are unorthodox, perhaps the most fundamental paradox is posed by the coexistence of inherited, sporadic, and infectious forms of these diseases. Sensible molecular mechanisms for prion propagation must explain all three forms of prion diseases in a manner that is compatible with the formidable array of ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Types and Strains: Their Essential Role in Understanding Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2017
Protein misfolding and aggregation is a key event in diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is associated with neurodegeneration.

On the optimal contact potential of proteins

open access: yes, 2007
We analytically derive the lower bound of the total conformational energy of a protein structure by assuming that the total conformational energy is well approximated by the sum of sequence-dependent pairwise contact energies.

Analysis of Binding Site Hot Spots on the Surface of Ras GTPase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We have recently discovered an allosteric switch in Ras, bringing an additional level of complexity to this GTPase whose mutants are involved in nearly 30% of cancers.
