Engineering a Pseudo-26-kDa Schistosoma Glutathione Transferase from bovis/haematobium for Structure, Kinetics, and Ligandin Studies

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are the main detoxification enzymes in schistosomes. These parasitic enzymes tend to be upregulated during drug treatment, with Schistosoma haematobium being one of the species that mainly affect humans. There is a lack of

Cell-based assays to identify novel retinoprotective agents

open access: yesMethodsX, 2020
Degeneration of the retina can lead ultimately to devastating irreversible vision loss, such as in inherited retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Currently there is no cure to prevent retinal degeneration.

Functional properties of individual sub-domains of the fibrin(ogen) αC-domains

open access: yesBBA Advances, 2023
Background: Fibrinogen is a large polyfunctional plasma protein consisting of a number of structural and functional domains. Among them, two αC-domains, each formed by the amino acid residues Аα392–610, are involved in fibrin polymerization, activation ...

A structural alignment kernel for protein structures [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2007
AbstractMotivation: This work aims to develop computational methods to annotate protein structures in an automated fashion. We employ a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to map from a given class of structures to their corresponding structural (SCOP) or functional (Gene Ontology) annotation.

Structural Proteins of Reoviruses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1968
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the solubilized proteins from the three serotypes of reovirus revealed that each contained three major and four minor components. Subviral particles were prepared by brief treatment of complete virions with urea.

Improvement of the affinity of an anti-rat P2X4 receptor antibody by introducing electrostatic interactions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We have recently developed a mouse monoclonal antibody (12–10H) binding to the head domain region in rat P2X4 receptor (rP2X4R, which is crucial for the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain) expressed on the cell with the highest binding affinity (K D = 20 ...

Identification of the Protein Glycation Sites in Human Myoglobin as Rapidly Induced by d-Ribose

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Protein glycation is an important protein post-translational modification and is one of the main pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. Other than glycated hemoglobin, the protein glycation of other globins such as myoglobin (Mb) is less studied.
