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.
The alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus undergoes several conformational changes from the time it is released from the bacterium to the moment it forms a channel in the plasma membrane of its target cell. It is initially a soluble monomer, which undergo ...
Conformational changes occurring upon membrane binding and subsequent insertion of staphylococcal alpha-toxin were studied using complementary spectroscopic techniques. Experimental conditions were established where binding could be uncoupled from membrane ...
A new polymer device for use with conventional particulate stationary phases for on-chip, fritless, capillary electrochromatography (CEC) has been realized. The structure includes an injector and a tapered column in which the particles of the stationary ph ...
Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a small apolipoprotein that binds to high-density lipoproteins in the serum. Although SAA seems to play a role in host defense and lipid transport and metabolism, its specific functions have not been defined. Despite the growing im ...
Human retinol-binding protein (RBP) is a monomeric 21-kDa protein that is currently the subject of numerous studies owing to its role in the cellular uptake and utilization of retinol. When the RBP gene is overexpressed in Escherichia coli, inclusion bodie ...
Fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy as well as analytical ultracentrifugation and glutaraldehyde cross-linking were utilized to evaluate the tertiary and quaternary structural changes occurring on the denaturation and reconstitution pathways o ...
We report the sequence, structure and distribution of a novel transient receptor potential (trp) homologue from Xenopus, Xtrp, determined by screening an oocyte cDNA library. On the basis of sequence similarity and predicted structure, Xtrp appears to be a ...
Aerolysin is a bacterial pore-forming toxin that is secreted as an inactive precursor, which is then processed at its COOH terminus and finally forms a circular heptameric ring which inserts into membranes to form a pore. We have analyzed the stability of ...
The atomic force microscope acquires topographs of single native membrane proteins at subnanometer resolution. Owing to the high signal-to-noise ratio, such images allow the conformational space of membrane protein surfaces to be sampled. This is demonstra ...
Proteolytic activation, oligomerization, and membrane insertion are three steps that precede channel formation by the bacterial toxin aerolysin. Using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and hydrogen-deuterium exc ...
