Knowledge-based energy functions for computational studies of proteins [PDF]
, 2006 This chapter discusses theoretical framework and methods for developing knowledge-based potential functions essential for protein structure prediction, protein-protein interaction, and protein sequence design. We discuss in some details about the Miyazawa-Jernigan contact statistical potential, distance-dependent statistical potentials, as well as ...

Small antimicrobial resistance proteins (SARPs): Small proteins conferring antimicrobial resistance [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Small open reading frames are understudied as they have been historically excluded from genome annotations. However, evidence for the functional significance of small proteins in various cellular processes accumulates. Proteins with less than 70 residues can also confer resistance to antimicrobial compounds, including intracellularly-acting protein ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Under normoxic conditions, the SUMOylated fraction of TFAP2A cannot interact with the Ku70/Ku80 complex, nor it can bind to chromatin. The unSUMOylated fraction pre‐occupies the chromatin of a subset of hypoxia‐induced genes together with the Ku70/Ku80 complex for basal euchromatin formation. Under hypoxic conditions, the SUMOylation equilibrium shifts

Protein Inference and Protein Quantification: Two Sides of the Same Coin [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Motivation: In mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics, protein quantification and protein identification are two major computational problems. To quantify the protein abundance, a list of proteins must be firstly inferred from the sample. Then the relative or absolute protein abundance is estimated with quantification methods, such as spectral ...

Gastric and sacral electrical stimulation for motility disorders—A clinical perspective
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Abstract Background Electrical stimulation of the gut has been investigated in recent decades with a view to treating various gastro‐intestinal motility disorders including, among others, gastric electrical stimulation to relieve nausea and vomiting associated with gastroparesis and sacral neuromodulation to treat fecal incontinence and/or constipation.

Genome-wide discovery of modulators of transcriptional interactions in human B lymphocytes
, 2006 Transcriptional interactions in a cell are modulated by a variety of mechanisms that prevent their representation as pure pairwise interactions between a transcription factor and its target(s). These include, among others, transcription factor activation

Is the intrinsic disorder of proteins the cause of the scale-free architecture of protein-protein interaction networks? [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 In protein-protein interaction networks certain topological properties appear to be recurrent: networks maps are considered scale-free. It is possible that this topology is reflected in the protein structure. In this paper we investigate the role of protein disorder in the network topology.

Phase Separation: A New Dimension to Understanding Tumor Biology and Therapy
MedComm – Oncology, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) facilitates the assembly of biomolecular condensates by leveraging weak multivalent interactions. The low‐complexity domains, foldable domains of proteins, and nucleic acids provide multivalent interaction sites among different molecules and contribute to the formation of condensates.
