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

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 ...

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 ...
