Molecular basis for protein histidine N1-specific methylation of the “His-x-His” motifs by METTL9

open access: yesCell Insight, 2023
Histidine methylation serves as an intriguing strategy to introduce altered traits of target proteins, including metal ion chelation, histidine-based catalysis, molecular assembly, and translation regulation.

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

Protein structure prediction [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics B, 2018
Predicting 3D structure of protein from its amino acid sequence is one of the most important unsolved problems in biophysics and computational biology. This paper attempts to give a comprehensive introduction of the most recent effort and progress on protein structure prediction.

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 ...

DNA Variations between Medicago truncatula Symbiotic Mutant Line and Native Variant Using Fluorescence-Based AFLP Marker

open access: yesHighlights in BioScience, 2020
Genetic mutagenesis is a very efficient tool in studying genes function. Because of the great benefits of legumes as human food and animal feed worldwide, we used a model plant Medicago truncatula for identification gene function related to nitrogen ...

Adaptive HIV-1 evolutionary trajectories are constrained by protein stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Despite the use of combination antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1 infection, the emergence of drug resistance remains a problem. Resistance may be conferred either by a single mutation or a concerted set of mutations.

The LBFGS Quasi-Newtonian Method for Molecular Modeling Prion AGAAAAGA Amyloid Fibrils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Experimental X-ray crystallography, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy, dual polarization interferometry, etc are indeed very powerful tools to determine the 3-Dimensional structure of a protein (including the membrane protein); theoretical ...
