Synthesis of 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Analogues Featuring a S-2-symmetric CD-ring Core [PDF]
Three analogues of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (calcitriol), featuring a transfused decalin C, D-core with local S-2-symmetry, and possessing identical side-chain and seco-B,A-ring structures, have been synthesized starting from readily available ...

Side chain flexibility and the symmetry of protein homodimers.
A comprehensive analysis of crystallographic data of 565 high-resolution protein homodimers comprised of over 250,000 residues suggests that amino acids form two groups that differ in their tendency to distort or symmetrize the structure of protein ...

A model of dynamic side‐chain–side‐chain interactions in the α‐lactalbumin molten globule [PDF]
AbstractProteins in the molten globule state contain high levels of secondary structure, as well as a rudimentary, nativelike tertiary topology. Thus, the structural similarity between the molten globule and native proteins may have a significant bearing in understanding the protein‐folding problem.

The human Na+/H+ antiporter NHA2 transports Na+ or Li+ in exchange for protons across cell membranes, and its dysfunction results in various pathologies, e.g., fertility disorders, hypertension, or diabetes. This work provides the molecular characterization of interactions of NHA2 with its specific inhibitor phloretin, which can be helpful for the ...

Unifying model of driven polymer translocation [PDF]
We present a Brownian dynamics model of driven polymer translocation, in which non-equilibrium memory effects arising from tension propagation (TP) along the cis side subchain are incorporated as a time-dependent friction. To solve the effective friction,

Investigation of a side‐chain‐side‐chain hydrogen bond by mutagenesis, thermodynamics, and NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
AbstractAnomalous NMR behavior of the hydroxyl proton resonance for Ser 31 has been reported for histidine‐containing protein (HPr) from two microorganisms: Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The unusual slow exchange and chemical shift exhibited by the resonance led to the proposal that the hydroxyl group is involved in a strong hydrogen bond.

The mitochondrial outer membrane iron–sulphur ([Fe‐S]) protein mitoNEET is a target of the type‐2 diabetes drug pioglitazone. Its unknown molecular function is linked to respiratory complex activity and mitochondrial function. We discovered that O2 protects the mitoNEET [2Fe‐2S] cluster against NO oxidation and desensitization towards reduction by H2S.

“Head-to-Side-Chain” Cyclodepsipeptides of Marine Origin
Since the late 1980s, a large number of depsipeptides that contain a new topography, referred to as “head-to-side-chain” cyclodepsipeptides, have been isolated and characterized.

Let $S$ be a countable set, and $a, b$ two distinct elements not in $S$. Let $\Omega$ be the set of functions $\omega: Z$ (integers) $\rightarrow S \cup \{a, b\}$ so that (i) $\omega (n) \in S$ for some $n$, (ii) $\omega (n) = a \Rightarrow \omega(m) = a$ for $m n$. On $\Omega$, let $x(n)$ be the $n$th coordinate, $\theta_n$ the shift operator, and $\
