Introduction to Protein Structure [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
While many good textbooks are available on Protein Structure, Molecular Simulations, Thermodynamics and Bioinformatics methods in general, there is no good introductory level book for the field of Structural Bioinformatics. This book aims to give an introduction into Structural Bioinformatics, which is where the previous topics meet to explore three ...

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

A Receptor Component of the Chloroplast Protein Translocation Machinery [PDF]

, 1994
The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP86 functions as a receptor in precursor protein translocation into chloroplasts. Sequence analysis suggests that the precursor of OEP86 is directed to the chloroplast outer envelope by a cleavable, negatively ...

The ASTRAL compendium for protein structure and sequence analysis

Nucleic Acids Res., 2000
The ASTRAL compendium provides several databases and tools to aid in the analysis of protein structures, particularly through the use of their sequences. The SPACI scores included in the system summarize the overall characteristics of a protein structure.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

idMotif: An Interactive Motif Identification in Protein Sequences [PDF]

idMotif: An Interactive Motif Identification in Protein Sequences," in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2023
This article introduces idMotif, a visual analytics framework designed to aid domain experts in the identification of motifs within protein sequences. Motifs, short sequences of amino acids, are critical for understanding the distinct functions of proteins. Identifying these motifs is pivotal for predicting diseases or infections.

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.
