Folate Binding Protein as a Therapeutic Natural Nanotechnology
(2018)
Serum proteins interact with small molecules and nanoparticles in blood, resulting in protein coronas. Protein coronas influence the bioidentity of the molecules and nanoparticles, playing critical roles in biotransport, ...
(1) The Relationship of Protein Expression and Cell Division, (2) 3D Imaging of Cells Using Digital Holography, and (3) General Chemistry Enrollment at University of Michigan.
(2012)
Chapter 1: We evaluated the relationship between cell division and protein expression when using commercial poly(ethylenimine) (PEI)-based polyplexes. The membrane dye PKH26 was used to assess cell division, and cyan ...
Ultrafast Hydration Dynamics Near Extended Macromolecular Interfaces
(2019)
Liquid water is arguably the most complex, but interesting chemical, enabling development and sustenance of life. The tetrahedral geometry of the water molecule allows the formation of a dense network of hydrogen bonds ...
Ion Mobility - Mass Spectrometry Methods for Studying Membrane Proteins
(2020)
embrane proteins are important therapeutic targets which play vital roles in cellular function. As protein structure is closely linked to its function, the characterization of membrane proteins is vital to elucidating their ...
A Tale of Two RNAs: Single Molecule Investigation of the Conformation, Dynamics and Ligand Binding to the PreQ1 and T-box Riboswitches.
(2014)
Riboswitches are structured mRNA domains that can bind cellular metabolites and control gene expression of downstream genes mainly via transcription attenuation or inhibition of translation initiation. Although structures ...
Targeting the Activator Interaction Domain of Mediator Subunit Med25.
(2016)
The Activator Interaction Domain of Mediator subunit Med25 is a coactivator binding partner for a number of transcriptional activators implicated in diverse cellular processes including the hijacking of transcriptional ...
Functional Analysis of Protein S-Palmitoylation Enzymes.
(2015)
Protein S-palmitoylation is a dynamic, hydrophobic, post-translational modification of cysteine residues that is required for the spatiotemporal organization of hundreds of proteins. In turn, protein palmitoylation contributes ...
Chemical Modulators of Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) Validate this Molecular Chaperone as a Target for Tauopathy
(2016)
Misregulation of tau, an intrinsically disordered protein, is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and more than 15 related tauopathies. These diseases are characterized by the accumulation of tau aggregates into insoluble ...
Biophysical Approaches to Target Protein-Protein Interactions of Epigenetic Complexes by Small-Molecule Inhibitors
(2019)
Innumerable biological systems rely on Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) to govern basal physiological processes. Deregulation of PPIs is implicated in various human diseases, and PPIs have thus been frequently promoted ...
Advances in Coarse-grained Models for Protein Folding and Protein-protein Interactions
(2019)
Almost all biological functions rely on the dynamics of proteins. Protein folding and protein-protein interactions are the two most fundamental problems of protein dynamics. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful ...
