Atomic Motif Recognition in (Bio)Polymers: Benchmarks From the Protein Data Bank

Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Federico Giberti

Rationalizing the structure and structure–property relations for complex materials such as polymers or biomolecules relies heavily on the identification of local atomic motifs, e.g., hydrogen bonds and secondary structure patterns, that are seen as buildin ...

Mid-Infrared plasmonic nanoantennas for ultrasensitive detection of proteins and their secondary structure

Dordaneh Etezadi

Engineered plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as powerful sensing platforms and are promoting novel applications in various fields. By providing extreme field confinement down to molecular dimensions and enhancing light-matter interaction at the nanosca ...

A novel psychoanalytical approach: An electrochemical ligand-binding assay to screen antipsychotics

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic

Schizophrenia treatment may see a paradigm shift due to development of new atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs), with better tolerability due to more selective dopamine (DA) receptor blockade. Monitoring of these APD candidates in biological fluids is of gr ...

Shape-Persistent, Thermoresponsive Polypeptide Brushes Prepared by Vapor Deposition Surface-Initiated Ring-Opening Polymerization of alpha-Amino Acid N-Carboxyanhydrides

Harm-Anton Klok, Solenne Desseaux

Surface-grafting thermoresponsive polymers allows the preparation of thin polymer brush coatings with surface properties that can be manipulated by variation of temperature. In most instances, thermoresponsive polymer brushes are produced using polymers th ...

Protein-nanoparticle interactions: the effects of surface compositional and structural heterogeneity are scale dependent

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney

Nanoparticles (NPs) in the biological environment are exposed to a large variety and concentration of proteins. Proteins are known to adsorb in a 'corona' like structure on the surface of NPs. In this study, we focus on the effects of surface compositional ...

Royal Society of Chemistry2013

Enantiopure 1,3-diethynylallenes were used as monomers in the construction of monodisperse oligomers and cyclooligomers. The open-chain structures show a non-linear increase in the intensity of the chiroptical properties as the no. of monomeric units incre ...

Interaction of complexes I, III, and IV within the bovine respirasome by single particle cryoelectron tomography

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

The respirasome is a multisubunit supercomplex of the respiratory chain in mitochondria. Here we report the 3D reconstruction of the bovine heart respirasome, composed of dimeric complex III and single copies of complex I and IV, at about 2.2-nm resolution ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences2011

In this paper we analyze the vibrational spectra of a large ensemble of non-homologous protein structures by means of a novel tool, that we coin Hierarchical Network Model (HNM). Our coarse-grained scheme accounts for the intrinsic heterogeneity of force c ...

The length of the Yersinia injectisome needle is determined by the protein YscP, which could act as a molecular ruler. The analysis of the correlation between the size of YscP and the needle length in seven wild-type strains of Yersinia enterocolitica rein ...
