Metastable-state photoacids (mPAHs) are chemical species whose photo-activated state is long-lived enough to allow for proton diffusion. Liao's photoacid (1) represents the archetype of mPAHs, and is being widely used on account of its unique capability to ...

Applications of machine learning and graph theory techniques to neuroscience have witnessed an increased interest in the last decade due to the large data availability and unprecedented technology developments. Their employment to investigate the effect of ...

Knowledge-based approaches use the statistics collected from protein data-bank structures to estimate effective interaction potentials between amino acid pairs. Empirical relations are typically employed that are based on the crucial choice of a reference ...

Genome duplication, transcription, and translation are among many crucial cellular processes that need to be performed with high fidelity. However, those extremely low error rates cannot be explained with simple equilibrium thermodynamic considerations. Th ...

In allosteric proteins, binding a ligand can affect function at a distant location, for example, by changing the binding affinity of a substrate at the active site. The induced fit and population shift models, which differ by the assumed number of stable c ...

The 70-kD heat shock protein (Hsp70) chaperone system is a central hub of the proteostasis network that helps maintain protein homeostasis in all organisms. The recruitment of Hsp70 to perform different and specific cellular functions is regulated by the J ...

Protein folding and receptor–ligand recognition are fundamental processes for any living organism. Although folding and ligand recognition are based on the same chemistry, the existing empirical scoring functions target just one problem: predicting the cor ...

Three-component ParABS systems are widely distributed factors for plasmid partitioning and chromosome segregation in bacteria. ParB acts as adaptor protein between the 16-base pair centromeric parS DNA sequences and the DNA segregation proteins ParA and Sm ...

Neural differentiation, synaptic transmission, and action potential propagation depend on membrane sphingolipids, whose metabolism is tightly regulated. Mutations in the ceramide transporter CERT (CERT1), which is involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis, are ...

ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters are a broad family of biological machines, found in most prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, performing the crucial import or export of substrates through both plasma and organellar membranes, and maintaining a steady ...

ParABS systems facilitate chromosome segregation and plasmid partitioning in bacteria and archaea. ParB protein binds centromeric parS DNA sequences and spreads to flanking DNA. We show that ParB is an enzyme that hydrolyzes cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to ...

A visible light-switchable buffer system based on a protonated merocyanine photoacid is presented. Para -substitution of the indolium side with a methoxy group affords a compound suitable for making hydrolytically stable aqueous buffers whose pH can be tun ...
