Proteins appear to be the most dramatic natural example of self-organized criticality (SOC), a concept that explains many otherwise apparently unlikely phenomena. Protein conformational functionality is often dominated by long-range…
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate the exchange of materials between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm, playing a key role in the separation of nucleic acids and proteins into their required compartments. The static structure of the NPC is…
RNA/protein interactions play crucial roles in controlling gene expression. They are becoming important targets for pharmaceutical applications. Due to RNA flexibility and to the strength of electrostatic interactions, standard docking…
The emergence of cross species interactions at protein level is a part of molecular mechanisms that lead to parasitic diseases. Comprehensive modelling can capture such interactions and could be useful to understand their pathophysiology…
Atomic Force Microscopy was utilized to study the morphology of Gag, {\Psi}RNA, and their binding complexes with lipids in a solution environment with 0.1{\AA} vertical and 1nm lateral resolution. TARpolyA RNA was used as a RNA control. The…
Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1), a member of the Class A G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, plays an important role in modulating dopaminergic neuronal activity and eliciting opioid-independent analgesia. Recent studies suggest that…
Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influence on cell response is deeply investigated, the role of the…
Due to increased activity in high-throughput structural genomics efforts around the globe, there has been an accumulation of experimental protein 3D structures lacking functional annotation, thus creating a need for structure-based protein…
Interactions between proteins are hard to decipher. Protein-protein interactions are difficult problem to address because they are not based on differences in charge type like protein-DNA or protein-lipid interactions. In this manuscript we…
Starting from a protein solution which is metastable with respect to the crystalline phase, the effect of adding semidilute non-adsorbing polymer is considered. It is found to increase the chemical potential of the protein by a few tenths…
Pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics due to their ability in creating an envelope on the outer layer of lipooligosaccharides (LOS). The cationic phosphoethanolamine (PEA) decoration of LOS lipid A is…
A combination of Fourier transform infrared and phase transition measurements as well as molecular computer simulations, and thermodynamic modeling were performed to probe the mechanisms by which guanidinium salts influence the stability of…
Short peptides with antimicrobial activity have therapeutic potential for treating bacterial infections. Mechanisms of actions for antimicrobial peptides require binding the biological membrane of their target, which often represents a key…
Advanced bioactive systems with defined macroscopic properties and spatio-temporal sequestration of extracellular biomacromolecules are highly desirable for next generation therapeutics. Here, chitosan hydrogels were prepared with neutral…
The interaction between the bacterial S-protein SbpA on different types of lipid membranes has been studied using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. On one hand, It…
Basis set convergence of correlation effects on molecular atomization energies beyond the CCSD (coupled cluster with singles and doubles) approximation has been studied near the one-particle basis set limit. Quasiperturbative connected…
While FPGA accelerator boards and their respective high-level design tools are maturing, there is still a lack of multi-FPGA applications, libraries, and not least, benchmarks and reference implementations towards sustained HPC usage of…
Objective: SNP heritability estimates vary substantially across estimation strategies, yet the downstream consequences for polygenic risk score (PRS) construction remain poorly characterised. We systematically benchmarked heritability…
We investigated the X-ray scattering signal of highly aligned multilayers of the zwitterionic lipid 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine containing pores formed by the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin as a function of the…
While most studies emphasize on certain aspects of Pathogen-Host Interactions (PHI), such as the preferential attachment of bacteria or virus to its human receptor homolog, studies have attempted to methodically classify interactions among…
