Protein secondary structure: Entropy, correlations and prediction [PDF]
Is protein secondary structure primarily determined by local interactions between residues closely spaced along the amino acid backbone, or by non-local tertiary interactions?

The higher-order structure (HOS) of protein therapeutics is directly related to the function and represents a critical quality attribute. Currently, the HOS of protein therapeutics is characterized by methods with low to medium structural resolution ...

Loop Entropy Assists Tertiary Order: Loopy Stabilization of Stacking Motifs
The free energy of an RNA fold is a combination of favorable base pairing and stacking interactions competing with entropic costs of forming loops. Here we show how loop entropy, surprisingly, can promote tertiary order.

Structural and Functional Exploration of UTS2B Gene for a Possible Role in Poultry Ascites Syndrome: In Silico Analysis [PDF]
Ascites syndrome is a multifactorial disease in poultry, associated with high mortality and significant economic losses. Genomic studies have identified UTS2B gene as a candidate gene associated with ascites syndrome in poultry.

The primary and secondary structures of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) are well established. Previous morphological studies have suggested that apoB is a long, flexible, threadlike molecule that encircles the low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle ...

Conformational dynamics of the tetracycline-binding aptamer [PDF]
The conformational dynamics induced by ligand binding to the tetracycline-binding aptamer is monitored via stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy and time-correlated single photon counting experiments.

Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton [PDF]
Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying the gluten.

A fisheries acoustic multi-frequency indicator to inform on large scale spatial patterns of aquatic pelagic ecosystems [PDF]
Fisheries acoustic instruments provide information on four major groups in aquatic ecosystems: fish with and without swim bladder (tertiary and quaternary consumers), fluidlike zooplankton (secondary consumers) and small gas bearing organisms such as ...

Utilizing Protein Structure to Identify Non-Random Somatic Mutations [PDF]
Motivation: Human cancer is caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in tumor suppressors and oncogenes within the genome. In the case of oncogenes, recent theory suggests that there are only a few key "driver" mutations responsible for ...
