The Critical Role of Substrate in Stabilizing Phosphorene Nanoflake: A Theoretical Exploration [PDF]
Phosphorene, a new two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor, has received much interest due to its robust direct band gap and high charge mobility. Currently, however, phosphorene can only be produced by mechanical or liquid exfoliation, and it is still a significant challenge to directly epitaxially grow phosphorene, which greatly hinders its mass ...

Substrate Specificity of Recombinant Ser/Thr Protein Kinase
Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate proteins in a cell. Determination of kinase activity in reactions of phosphorylation is a very convenient way for a biochemical characterization of this group of enzymes.

Minimalistic Hybrid Models for the Adsorption of Polymers and Peptides to Solid Substrates [PDF]
We have performed chain-growth simulations of minimalistic hybrid lattice models for polymers interacting with interfaces of attractive solid substrates in order to gain insights into the conformational transitions of the polymers in the adsorption process.

Switching the substrate specificity of lysoplasmalogen‐specific phospholipase D
Lysoplasmalogen‐specific phospholipase D (LyPls‐PLD) catalyzes reactions in a manner similar to those catalyzed by glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GDPD) and other well‐known PLDs.

Substrate specificity of the TRAMP nuclear surveillance complexes
During nuclear surveillance in yeast and human cells, the RNA exosome functions together with the TRAMP complexes. Here, the authors defined the protein composition of the TRAMP complexes and identified specific RNA binding sites for the different TRAMP ...

Protein translocation without specific quality control in a computational model of the Tat system [PDF]
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system transports folded proteins of various sizes across both bacterial and plant thylakoid membranes. The membrane-associated TatA protein is an essential component of the Tat translocon, and a broad distribution of different sized TatA-clusters is observed in bacterial membranes. We assume that the size dynamics

Substrate specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
The serine protease prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a useful clinical marker for prostatic malignancy. PSA is a member of the kallikrein subgroup of the (chymo)trypsin serine protease family, but differs from the prototypical member of this subgroup, tissue kallikrein, in possessing a specificity more similar to that of chymotrypsin than trypsin. We

Elastohydrodynamics of a soft coating under fluid-mediated loading by a spherical probe [PDF]
Motion of an object near a soft wall with intervening fluid is a canonical problem in elastohydrodynamics, finding presence in subjects spanning biology to tribology. Particularly, motion of a sphere towards a soft substrate with intervening fluid is often encountered in the context of scanning probe microscopy.

Structural basis for substrate specificity of mammalian neuraminidases.
The removal of sialic acid (Sia) residues from glycoconjugates in vertebrates is mediated by a family of neuraminidases (sialidases) consisting of Neu1, Neu2, Neu3 and Neu4 enzymes.
