Dynamics and thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Complex networks of protein-ligand interactions underpin cellular function and communication. Disease can arise from disruption of these networks through the alteration of protein-ligand interaction affinities, for example by protein mutation or ligand ...

Functional Dynamics of Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2012
X-ray crystallography captures protein conformational states that are stable enough to be captured. These observable states are simply part of the functional event in the context of protein dynamics. Life at the molecular level has a vibrant nature at physiological temperature, governed by physics laws. Molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations have been

Pharmacological Characterization of Purified Full-Length Dopamine Transporter from Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesCells, 2022
The dopamine transporter (DAT) is a member of the neurotransmitter:sodium symporter (NSS) family, mediating the sodium-driven reuptake of dopamine from the extracellular space thereby terminating dopaminergic neurotransmission.

With Age Comes Maturity: Biochemical and Structural Transformation of a Human Centriole in the Making

open access: yesCells, 2020
Centrioles are microtubule-based cellular structures present in most human cells that build centrosomes and cilia. Proliferating cells have only two centrosomes and this number is stringently maintained through the temporally and spatially controlled ...

Modern Tools for Rapid Diagnostics of Antimicrobial Resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Fast, robust, and affordable antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is required, as roughly 50% of antibiotic treatments are started with wrong antibiotics and without a proper diagnosis of the pathogen. Validated growth-based AST according to EUCAST

A protein quality control pathway at the mitochondrial outer membrane

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Maintaining the essential functions of mitochondria requires mechanisms to recognize and remove misfolded proteins. However, quality control (QC) pathways for misfolded mitochondrial proteins remain poorly defined.

Reduced efficacy of a Src kinase inhibitor in crowded protein solution

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The intracellular compartment is a crowded environment. Here, the authors use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to assess inhibitor binding to c-Src kinase and show how ligand binding pathways differ in crowded and dilute protein solutions ...

The dopamine transporter antiports potassium to increase the uptake of dopamine

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The dopamine transporter, DAT, controls dopamine signaling by facilitating its reuptake using the Na+ gradient as driving force. Here, the authors uncover that an antiport of K+ ions also contributes to setting the rate of DAT-mediated dopamine clearance.

Dynamic Proteins in Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2001
The MinCDE system regulates the position of the division plane in rod-shaped bacteria. New results from Escherichia coli provide insight into how this operates by showing that MinE stimulates the ATPase activity of MinD.
