Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have pivotal roles in life processes. The studies showed that aberrant PPIs are associated with various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, targeting PPIs is a d
Nano-enabled strategies to enhance biological nitrogen fixation Increasing the capacity of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is an effective strategy to enhance food security while simultaneously reducing the carbon and nitrogen footprint of agriculture. Nanotechnology offers several pathways to enhance BNF...
Along with this idea, recently we found that the apical membranes of syncytiotrophoblast from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia are more rigid than normal ones because of an increase of long and unsaturated sphingomyelin molecular species which alters the membrane order of the trophoblastic ...
Carbon atoms—gray spheres; oxygen atoms—red spheres; nitrogen atoms—blue spheres. Hydrogen atoms (white spheres) are not shown for clarity unless involved in highlighted hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds between the proline residue and guanidinium groups of the arginine side chains in the Ac-P...
There is a high degree of similarity between the densities of the FG loops in the A and C subunits. (b) Conformation of the FG loops around the five-fold axis. Stereo drawing of residues B72 to B84 and A97 to A100. Carbon atoms are yellow, nitrogen atoms blue, oxygen atoms red ...
The nitroalkylation mechanism, from a chemical point of view, consists of a Michael addition between the protein, that acts as a nucleophile, and an activated olefin as a nitroalkene, where the presence of a nitro-group activates the β-carbon of the double bond. The reactivity of the prote...
Answer to: The peptide bond is a) a hydrogen bond b) an ionic bond c) a covalent bond d) a bond between two monosaccharides e) None of the above By...
These are sugars having five carbon atoms and form the main constituents of nucleic acids. In DNA, they occur as deoxyribose and in RNA, they are found as ribose. Ribose sugar is also found in some coenzymes like NAD, ATP and CoA. ...
The SCUBE [Signal peptide-Complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, Bmp1 (CUB)-Epithelial growth factor domain-containing protein] family consists of three proteins in vertebrates, SCUBE1, 2 and 3, which are highly conserved in zebrafish, mice and humans. Each SCUBE gen
The interface also influences the average length of the amino acid, with higher temperatures resulting in changes in the distributions of length between a-carbons and the terminal nitrogen, and 7-carbon for lysine and glutamine. 2.4 Conclusions This research is a first quantitative step into ...
