Diffocins are high-molecular-weight phage tail-like bacteriocins (PTLBs) that some Clostridium difficile strains produce in response to SOS induction. Similar to the related R-type pyocins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, R-type diffocins act as molecular ...

Clinical profile and treatment outcome of older (>75 years) patients with systemic AL amyloidosis
Systemic AL amyloidosis, a disease with improving outcomes using novel therapies, is increasingly recognized in the elderly but treatment and outcomes have not been systematically studied in this group of patients in whom comorbidities and frailty may ...

Affilin proteins, artificial binding proteins based on the ubiquitin scaffold, have been generated by directed protein evolution to yield de-novo variants that bind the extra-domain B (EDB) of oncofetal fibronectin, an established marker of tumor ...

Aromatic clusters in protein–protein and protein–drug complexes [PDF]
AbstractAromatic rings are important residues for biological interactions and appear to a large extent as part of protein–drug and protein–protein interactions. They are relevant for both protein stability and molecular recognition processes due to their natural occurrence in aromatic aminoacids (Trp, Phe, Tyr and His) as well as in designed drugs ...

ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Prediction of β-barrel membrane proteins by searching for restricted domains [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The identification of beta-barrel membrane proteins out of a genomic/proteomic background is one of the rapidly developing fields in bioinformatics. Our main goal is the prediction of such proteins in genome/proteome wide analyses.

ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Evolvability of Chaperonin Substrate Proteins [PDF]
Molecular chaperones ensure that their substrate proteins reach the functional native state, and prevent their aggregation. Recently, an additional function was proposed for molecular chaperones: they serve as buffers (_capacitors_) for evolution by ...
