Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure

Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel protein scaffold from the snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.

Evaluation of the health-related quality of life of children in Schistosoma haematobium-endemic communities in Kenya: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis remains a global public health challenge, with 93% of the ~237 million infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Though rarely fatal, its recurring nature makes it a lifetime disorder with significant chronic health burdens.
