Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Multiple neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the aggregation of the human -Synuclein (-Syn) protein. -Syn possesses high structural plasticity and the capability of interacting with membranes. Both features are not only essential for its physiological ...
American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB)2016
This work examines the conformational ensemble involved in beta-hairpin folding by means of advanced molecular dynamics simulations and dimensionality reduction. A fully atomistic description of the protein and the surrounding solvent molecules is used, an ...
The first microRNAs (miRNAs) were identified as essential, conserved regulators of gene expression, targeting the same genes across nearly all bilaterians. However, there are also prominent examples of conserved miRNAs whose functions appear to have shifte ...
The bacterial Type 6 secretion system (T6SS) translocates protein toxins (also called effectors) from the cytosol of a T6SS-carrying cell to a target cell by a syringe-like supramolecular complex resembling a contractile tail of bacteriophages. Valine-glyc ...
Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...
In order to meet desired seismic performances, it is increasingly evident that engineers require reliable methods for the estimation of seismic demands on both structural and non-structural elements. To this end, current design codes incorporate simplified ...
Gene product 5 (gp5) of bacteriophage T4 is a spike-shaped protein that functions to disrupt the membrane of the target cell during phage infection. Its C-terminal domain is a long and slender -helix that is formed by three polypeptide chains wrapped aroun ...
Developing new strategies and methods to explore new dimensions of the chemical space represents an important goal for organic chemists. One particular synthetic approach that emerged in the last decades is Umpolung: the normal polarity of chemical functio ...
Previous studies indicate that eukaryotic promoters display a stereotypical chromatin landscape characterized by a well-positioned +1 nucleosome near the transcription start site and an upstream 1 nucleosome that together demarcate a nucleosome-free (or -d ...
Electron crystallography is used to study membrane proteins in the form of planar, two-dimensional (2D) crystals, or other crystalline arrays such as tubular crystals. This method has been used to determine the atomic resolution structures of bacteriorhodo ...
