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.
Mol. dynamics simulations (MDS) of the structural rearrangements on the pathway leading to procaspase 3 (I) activation are presented. A retrostructural approach was used to build I from mature caspase 3 (II). The peptide bond that was cleaved during enzyme ...
A novel concept for triggering conformational transitions, and thus changes in structure and function, in peptides with a switching element S provides intriguing perspectives for studying mol. processes that play a key role, for example, in early events of ...
The foundations for fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) were already laid in the early 1970s, but this technique did not become widely used until single-molecule detection was established almost 20 years later with the use of diffraction-limited co ...
The immune system has to decide on the reaction it will perform when it encounters a pathogen for the first time. The decision is based on the context in which the pathogen is presented and the signals it receives from the innate immune system. Thereafter ...
In the present study the authors examine the thermodn. of binding of two related pyrazine-derived ligands to the major urinary protein, MUP-I, using a combination of isothermal titrn. calorimetry (ITC), x-ray crystallog., and NMR backbone 15N and Me side-c ...
From the structure of 3,3-dimethyl-3H-benzofuro[3,2-f][1]-benzopyran, a selective in vitro inhibitor of mycobacterial growth, we have undertaken a structure-activity relationship investigation. We wish to report here our results on the use of [2+3] cycload ...
We suggest a control based method to uncover the structure (i.e., the dynamics of each system, the coupling direction, and coupling functions) of coupled systems. We show that driving a coupled system to steady states can reveal the underlying controlled c ...
TGR5, a metabotropic receptor that is G-protein-coupled to the induction of adenylate cyclase, has been recognized as the molecular link connecting bile acids to the control of energy and glucose homeostasis. With the aim of disclosing novel selective modu ...
Duocarmycins are a potent class of antitumor agents. Their activity arises by their covalent binding to adenine nucleobases of DNA. We use classical mol. dynamics and hybrid (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello mol. dynamics simulations to study non-covalent and covalen ...
The peroxiredoxin AhpC from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtAhpC) is the foremost element of a NADH-dependent peroxidase and peroxynitrite reductase system, where it directly reduces peroxides and peroxynitrite and is in turn reduced by AhpD and other protei ...
