Protein interactions are important for understanding many molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes. So far, interfaces between interacting proteins have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy mostly by using chemical shift perturbations and cross ...
Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a multifunctional protein and a major mediator of innate immunity. The paramount importance of MIF in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory, infectious, auto-immune and oncogenic diseases led to its emergence ...
TRIM5alpha is a restriction factor that limits infection of human cells by so-called N- but not B- or NB-tropic strains of murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we performed a mutation-based functional analysis of TRIM5alpha-mediated MLV restriction. Our resu ...
We present a new method to incorporate electrostatic interactions in coarse-grained representations of proteins. The model is based on a topologically reconstructed multipolar expansion of the all-atom centers of charge, specifically of the backbone dipole ...
The rabies virus (RABV) continues to be a worldwide health problem. RABV contains a single-stranded RNA genome that associates with the nucleoprotein N. The resulting ribonucleoprotein complex is surrounded by matrix protein M, lipid bilayer and glycoprote ...
The outcome of a viral infection depends on the interplay between the host's capacity to trigger potent antiviral responses and viral mechanisms that counteract them. Although Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3, which recognizes virally derived double-stranded (ds ...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have increasingly contributed to the understanding of biomolecular processes, allowing for predictions of thermodynamic and structural properties. Unfortunately, the holy grail of protein structure prediction was soon fo ...
The interactions and structural formation of polyelectrolytes in solution and environmental stimuli-responsive water-soluble polymers are subjects of intense academic research, development, and application. An increasing number of novel materials are being ...
Limited searching in the conformational space is one of the major obstacles for investigating protein dynamics by numerical approaches. For this reason, classical all-atom mol. dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins tend to be confined to local energy min., ...
PDZ domains are typical examples of binding motifs mediating the formation of protein-protein assemblies in many different cells. A quantitative characterization of the mechanisms intertwining structure, chemistry, and dynamics with the PDZ function repres ...
