High-resolution characterization of centriole distal appendage morphology and dynamics by correlative STORM and electron microscopy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The formation of cilia depends on centriole’s distal appendages. Here, the authors use correlative 3D-superresolution, electron microscopy and electron tomography to detail the architecture of distal appendages, to describe the initial stages of ...

Emergence of behaviour in a self-organized living matter network

open access: yeseLife, 2022
What is the origin of behaviour? Although typically associated with a nervous system, simple organisms also show complex behaviours. Among them, the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, a giant single cell, is ideally suited to study emergence of behaviour.

Modeling protein conformational ensembles by guiding AlphaFold2 with Double Electron Electron Resonance (DEER) distance distributions

open access: yesNature Communications
We describe a modified version of AlphaFold2 that incorporates experimental distance distributions into the network architecture for protein structure prediction.

Uptake mechanism of iron-phytosiderophore from the soil based on the structure of yellow stripe transporter

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Iron is an essential mineral in plant physiology. YS1 transporter imports iron–phytosiderophore complex (Fe(III)–DMA) from the soil. Here, the authors describe the cryo-EM structures of barley YS1 in complex with substrate, and a synthetic substrate ...

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

Protein Dynamics and its Correlation to Protein Activity and Stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the role of fast protein dynamics (picosecond timescale) in enzyme activity and stability, and specifically to test the hypothesis that enzyme activity and stability are inversely related by their internal ...

Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

Integrating Protein Dynamics And Enhanced Conformational Ensembles To Better Understand Their Role In Biomolecular Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Proteins have been termed the building blocks of life due to their involvement in practically every biological process that occurs in a living organism. For years now, researchers have sought to uncover the underlying mechanisms employed by biomolecules ...

Efficient sampling of large-scale transition pathways and intermediate conformations in sub-mesoscopic protein complexes

open access: yesNature Communications
Protein conformational changes are the cornerstone of biological function. While conformers captured experimentally represent metastable states, the pathways connecting them have been elusive for experiments and simulations alike.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Publications in Uremic Toxins From 1991 to 2024

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Uremic toxins are a growing area of research in nephrology, with significant implications in the progression and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the management of end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD). This bibliometric analysis aims to evaluate the global research trends, key contributors, and the impact of publications in ...
