Over the past years, molecular modeling and simulation techniques have had a major impact on experimental life sciences. They are capable of providing accurate insight into microscopic mechanisms, which are usually difficult to investigate experimentally. ...
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based bottom-up proteomics (BUP) is currently the method of choice for large-scale identification and characterization of proteins present in complex samples, such as cell lysates, body fluids, or tissues. Technically, BUP relies on ...
Proteins often assemble in multimeric complexes to perform a specific biologic function. However, trapping these high-order conformations is difficult experimentally. Therefore, predicting how proteins assemble using in silico techniques can be of great he ...
Allosteric regulation plays an important role in a myriad of bio-macromolecular processes. Specifically, in a protein, the process of allostery refers to the transmission of a local perturbation, such as ligand binding, to a distant site. Decades after the ...
Characteristic timescales associated with the function of biomolecules, like proteins, range from femtoseconds up to minutes, whereas their corresponding spatial extent ranges from few ̊A to μm when associating in large macromolecular complexes. Moreover, ...
It has been suggested that amphiphilic amino acids play an important role in the adsorption of proteins on nanostructured surfaces with an ordered, striped domain structure such as those presented by monolayer-protected metal nanoparticles (MPMNs). We have ...
The biological function of a protein is strongly tied to the ensemble of three-dimensional conformations populated at physiological temperature, and dynamically transforming into each other. Experimental techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectr ...
In the realm of protein-protein interactions, the assembly process of homooligomers plays a fundamental role because the majority of proteins fall into this category. A comprehensive understanding of this multistep process requires the characterization of ...
Biomaterials such as structure proteins are constructed from limited sets of chemical building blocks and supramolecular motifs. Nevertheless, they exhibit extraordinary properties specifically tailored for a broad range of applications because hierarchica ...
The dynamics of peptide α-helices have been studied extensively for many years, and the kinetic mechanism of the helix-coil dynamics has been discussed controversially. Recent experimental results have suggested that equilibrium helix-coil dynamics are gov ...
