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
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.

In silico evidence that protein unfolding is as a precursor of the protein aggregation [PDF]
We present a computational study on the folding and aggregation of proteins in aqueous environment, as function of its concentration. We show how the increase of the concentration of individual protein species can induce a partial unfolding of the native conformation without the occurrence of aggregates. A further increment of the protein concentration

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

ProNet DB: A proteome-wise database for protein surface property representations and RNA-binding profiles [PDF]
The rapid growth in the number of experimental and predicted protein structures and more complicated protein structures challenge users in computational biology for utilizing the structural information and protein surface property representation. Recently, AlphaFold2 released the comprehensive proteome of various species, and protein surface property ...
