Why Do Proteins Look Like Proteins?
, 1996 Protein structures in nature often exhibit a high degree of regularity (secondary structures, tertiary symmetries, etc.) absent in random compact conformations.

Proton translocation in proteins [PDF]
, 1989 The active transport of protons across the low dielectric barrier imposed by biological membranes is accomplished by a plethora of proteins that span the ca. 40 Å of the phospholipid bilayer.

Electron Transfer in Proteins [PDF]
, 1996 Electron-transfer (ET) reactions are key steps in a diverse array of biological transformations ranging from photosynthesis to aerobic respiration. A powerful theoretical formalism has been developed that describes ET rates in terms of two parameters ...

Untying Knots in Proteins [PDF]
, 2010 A shoelace can be readily untied by pulling its ends rather than its loops. Attempting to untie a native knot in a protein can also succeed or fail depending on where one pulls.

, 2005 Proteins, chain molecules of amino acids, behave in ways which are similar to each other yet quite distinct from standard compact polymers. We demonstrate that the Flory theorem, derived for polymer melts, holds for compact protein native state ...

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]
, 2010 Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.

14-3-3 proteins. a highly conserved, widespread family of eukaryotic proteins [PDF]
, 1992 A family of proteins known as 14-3-3 is currently receiving increased attention by investigators studying a broad range of biological systems, including plants and invertebrates. The outstanding feature of this family is the extraordinarily high sequence

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan
Population Ecology, EarlyView.The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Interactions among mitochondrial proteins altered in glioblastoma [PDF]
, 2014 Mitochondrial dysfunction is putatively central to glioblastoma (GBM) pathophysiology but there has been no systematic analysis in GBM of the proteins which are integral to mitochondrial function.

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the
