Rampant exchange of the structure and function of extramembrane domains between membrane and water soluble proteins. [PDF]
Of the membrane proteins of known structure, we found that a remarkable 67% of the water soluble domains are structurally similar to water soluble proteins of known structure. Moreover, 41% of known water soluble protein structures share a domain with an

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.

Structure of the AAA protein Msp1 reveals mechanism of mislocalized membrane protein extraction. [PDF]
The AAA protein Msp1 extracts mislocalized tail-anchored membrane proteins and targets them for degradation, thus maintaining proper cell organization.

Disordered proteins and network disorder in network descriptions of protein structure, dynamics and function. Hypotheses and a comprehensive review [PDF]
During the last decade, network approaches became a powerful tool to describe protein structure and dynamics. Here we review the links between disordered proteins and the associated networks, and describe the consequences of local, mesoscopic and global ...

TRIP13 is a protein-remodeling AAA+ ATPase that catalyzes MAD2 conformation switching. [PDF]
The AAA+ family ATPase TRIP13 is a key regulator of meiotic recombination and the spindle assembly checkpoint, acting on signaling proteins of the conserved HORMA domain family.

Protein Structure Prediction: The Next Generation
Over the last 10-15 years a general understanding of the chemical reaction of protein folding has emerged from statistical mechanics. The lessons learned from protein folding kinetics based on energy landscape ideas have benefited protein structure ...

Protein secondary structure: Entropy, correlations and prediction [PDF]
Is protein secondary structure primarily determined by local interactions between residues closely spaced along the amino acid backbone, or by non-local tertiary interactions?

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.
