Human and mouse angiogenins: Emerging insights and potential opportunities
Angiogenin, a well-known angiogenic factor, is crucial to the angiogenesis in gastrointestinal tumors. Human angiogenin has only one gene, whereas the murine angiogenin family has extended to incorporate six genes.

Characterization of proteins by means of their buffer capacity, measured with an ISFET-based coulometric sensor-actuator system [PDF]
Proteins form the specific selector in many biochemical sensors. A change in one of the properties of such a protein has to be detected by an appropriate transducer, which completes the biochemical sensor.

Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]
The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

ConSole: using modularity of contact maps to locate solenoid domains in protein structures. [PDF]
BackgroundPeriodic proteins, characterized by the presence of multiple repeats of short motifs, form an interesting and seldom-studied group. Due to often extreme divergence in sequence, detection and analysis of such motifs is performed more reliably on

Protein disulfide-isomerase interacts with a substrate protein at all stages along its folding pathway [PDF]
In contrast to molecular chaperones that couple protein folding to ATP hydrolysis, protein disulfide-isomerase (PDI) catalyzes protein folding coupled to formation of disulfide bonds (oxidative folding).

Although single targeted anti-cancer drugs are envisaged as safer treatments because they do not affect normal cells, cancer is a very complex disease to be eradicated with a single targeted drug. Alternatively, multi-targeted drugs may be more effective

Ribonuclease (RNase) Prolongs Survival of Grafts in Experimental Heart Transplantation
BackgroundCell damage, tissue and vascular injury are associated with the exposure and release of intracellular components such as RNA, which promote inflammatory reactions and thrombosis. Based on the counteracting anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective

Research on structure, mechanism and regulation of enzyme activity. Works of Nobel laureates C. Anfinsen, S. Moore, W. Stein, S. Prusiner, J. Skou, P. Boyer, J. Walker [PDF]
Although the protein nature of enzymes was identified in the 40s of the 20th century, (we wrote about this in our previous article), their molecular structure and the specific mechanism of action remained unknown.
