Design and characterization of stabilized mutants of the SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Domain
The global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for effective vaccines. The trimeric spike glycoprotein, particularly the receptor-binding domain (RBD), ...
Characterization of a Staphylococcus aureus multi-enzyme complex involved in the phenotypic switch and host-pathogen interactions
RNA homeostasis is maintained by synchronizing RNA synthesis and RNA degradation. These processes are synchronized to growth conditions and environmental stimuli, thus enabling bacterial survival in diverse environmental ...
Electrophysiological studies investigating drug effects on hHCN1 channels and Unravelling pore dynamics in Pannexin channels
Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) ion channel stands out for its unique characteristics, including sensitivity to transmembrane voltage and cyclic nucleotides, as well as its non-selective passage ...
Plasticity Paradigms: Navigating Protein Conformational Dynamics and Phenotypic Variability in Biological Systems
The complex dynamics and responses of biological systems to environmental cues are shaped by their inherent plasticity and adaptability. This biological plasticity, operational at multiple levels - ranging from the molecular ...
Interaction of hnRNPK with RNA and characterization of its phase separation behavior
Heterogenous ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) are a class of proteins initially discovered to protect the nascent transcripts before they develop into primary mRNAs. They are involved in almost all the stages of mRNA metabolism, ...
Computational investigation of peripheral membrane protein "Pleckstrin homology domain" and its regulation
The peripheral membrane protein repertoire is around 25% composed of the Pleckstrin homology
domain (PHD). PHD are component of the multidomain protein and plays the role of an adaptor in
recruitment of these proteins ...
Structural and functional characterization of human regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1)
RTEL1 is an ATP-dependent DNA helicase that translocates on the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from 5′ to 3′ direction. It is an iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster and DEAH motif-containing helicase. RTEL1 has been shown to play ...
Understanding protein structural excursions using residue networks and implications on biological function
The information required for a protein structure to fold into the native conformation is encoded in its sequence. Studying protein structures help to understand their biological function. Molecular interactions between ...
Deep mutational scanning to enhance immunogenicity and map antibody responses to HIV-1
Vaccines have proven effective against numerous viral diseases, yet the development of a
successful vaccine for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) remains elusive. A key
immunogen for vaccine design is the surface ...
