Crystal Structure Of Abrus Precatorius Agglutinin-I (APA-I) : Insights Into The Reduced Toxicity Of APA-I In Relation To Abrin. Formation Of Ordered Nanotubes Through Self Assembly In The Crystal Structures Of Dipeptides Containing α. β-dehydrophenylalanine
(2009-07-22)Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are protein or glycoprotein toxins that bring about the arrest of protein synthesis by directly interacting with and inactivating the ribosomes. Such toxins are in general, of plant ... -
Crystal Structures of Sortase A from Streptococcus Penumoniae : Insights into Domain-Swapped Dimerization. Crystal Structures of Designed Peptides : Inhibitors of Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (hIAPP) Fibrillization Implicated in Type 2 Diabetes And Those Forming Self-Assembled Nanotubes
(2017-09-27)Sortases are cell-membrane associated cysteine transpeptidases that are essential for the assembly and covalent anchoring of certain surface proteins to the cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria. Thus, they play critical ... -
