Structural biology of allergens

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2005
Major allergens may have special aerobiological properties and allergenic structures. It would also be instructive to consider the properties of nonallergens and nonallergenic responses. In some cases, nonallergenic responses appear to result from a lack of antigenicity and in others from regulation.

The Structural Biology of CD2

Immunological Reviews, 1989
The CD2 molecule is a 50-55KD transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the vast majority of thymocytes and virtually all peripheral T lymphocytes. Its functions are two-fold: adhesion and activation. CD2 serves to facilitate conjugate formation between the T-lineage cell and its cognate partner via intermolecular interaction of CD2 and LFA-3 on the ...

Serglycin – Structure and biology

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007
Serglycin is a proteoglycan found in hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells. It has important functions related to formation of several types of storage granules. In connective tissue mast cells the covalently attached glycosaminoglycan is heparin, whereas mucosal mast cells and activated macrophages contain oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (type E).

Photonic structures in biology

Nature, 2003
Millions of years before we began to manipulate the flow of light using synthetic structures, biological systems were using nanometre-scale architectures to produce striking optical effects. An astonishing variety of natural photonic structures exists: a species of Brittlestar uses photonic elements composed of calcite to collect light, Morpho ...

Structural biology of allergens

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2000
One of the major challenges of molecular allergy is to predict the allergenic potential of a protein, particularly in novel foods. Two aspects have to be distinguished: immunogenicity and cross-reactivity. Immunogenicity reflects the potential of a protein to induce IgE antibodies, whereas cross-reactivity is the reactivity of (usually preexisting) IgE

Structural Biology of Nucleocytoplasmic Transport

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2007
In eukaryotic cells, segregation of DNA replication and RNA biogenesis in the nucleus and protein synthesis in the cytoplasm poses the requirement of transporting thousands of macromolecules between the two cellular compartments. Transport between nucleus and cytoplasm is mediated by soluble receptors that recognize specific cargoes and carry them ...

Molecular Biology for Structural Biology

1999
The number of published 3D structures has increased exponentially in the last decade and the resulting mass of structural data has contributed significantly to the understanding of mechanisms underlying the biology of living cells. However, these mechanisms are so complex that structural biologists face still greater challenges, such as the study of ...

Proteasomes: Structure and Biology

Journal of Biochemistry, 1998
The proteasome is a multisubunit protease complex with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 20S. Two types of regulatory complexes, named PA700 and PA28, bind to both ends of the cylindrical 20S proteasome to form the dumbbell-like and football-like proteasomes, respectively.

4D structural biology—The 9th Murnau Conference on structural biology

Structure
The data presented at the 9th International Murnau Conference on September 18-21, 2024, the largest recurring structural biology meeting in Central Europe, illustrated the thriving state of the structural biology community. This is largely attributed to the ground-breaking developments over the last decade, which were intensely discussed during the ...
