Photoreceptors for a light biotransducer: a comparative study of the electrical responses of two (type-1)-opsins

open access: yes, 2013
The increasing interest in photoactivated proteins as natural replacement of standard inorganic materials in photocells drives to the compared analysis of bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin, two widely diffused proteins belonging to the family of ...

PROTINFO: secondary and tertiary protein structure prediction [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2003
Information about the secondary and tertiary structure of a protein sequence can greatly assist biologists in the generation and testing of hypotheses, as well as design of experiments. The PROTINFO server enables users to submit a protein sequence and request a prediction of the three-dimensional (tertiary) structure based on comparative modeling ...

Prediction of Protein Tertiary Structures Using MUFOLD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
There have been steady improvements in protein structure prediction during the past two decades. However, current methods are still far from consistently predicting structural models accurately with computing power accessible to common users. To address this challenge, we developed MUFOLD, a hybrid method of using whole and partial template information

An insight into structural plasticity and conformational transitions of transcriptional co-activator Sus1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
RNA biogenesis and mRNA transport are an intricate process for every eukaryotic cell. SAGA, a transcriptional coactivator and TREX-2 are the two major complexes participate in this process.

Multiple co-evolutionary networks are supported by the common tertiary scaffold of the LacI/GalR proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Protein families might evolve paralogous functions on their common tertiary scaffold in two ways. First, the locations of functionally-important sites might be "hard-wired" into the structure, with novel functions evolved by altering the amino acid (e.g.

Does a Simple Lattice Protein Exhibit Self-Organized Criticality? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There are many unanswered questions when it comes to protein folding. These questions are interesting because the tertiary structure of proteins determines its functionality in living organisms.

Two State Behavior in a Solvable Model of $\beta$-hairpin folding

open access: yes, 1999
Understanding the mechanism of protein secondary structure formation is an essential part of protein-folding puzzle. Here we describe a simple model for the formation of the $\beta$-hairpin, motivated by the fact that folding of a $\beta$-hairpin ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

CopulaNet: Learning residue co-evolution directly from multiple sequence alignment for protein structure prediction

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Protein structure prediction is a challenge. A new deep learning framework, CopulaNet, is a major step forward toward end-to-end prediction of inter-residue distances and protein tertiary structures with improved accuracy and efficiency.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
