As a topic of intensive research interest for decades, photocatalysis using semiconductor
heterostructures holds the potential to satisfy global energy demand, reduce greenhouse …

On the occasion of their fiftieth birthday, it is opportune to review the first half century of
Ramachandran plots. In the present review, some of the most relevant aspects of this fifty …

PBEQ-Solver provides a web-based graphical user interface to read biomolecular
structures, solve the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equations and interactively visualize the …

The functional properties of a protein primarily depend on its three-dimensional (3D)
structure. These properties have classically been assigned, visualized and analysed on the …

Ramachandran plots, which describe protein structures by plotting the dihedral angle pairs
of the backbone on a two-dimensional plane, have played an important role in structural …

Here, we systematically decompose the known protein structural universe into its basic
elements, which we dub tertiary structural motifs (TERMs). A TERM is a compact backbone …

Background Secondary structures are elements of great importance in structural biology,
biochemistry and bioinformatics. They are broadly composed of two repetitive structures …

The pioneering work of Ramachandran and colleagues emphasized the dominance of steric
constraints in specifying the structure of polypeptides. The ubiquitous Ramachandran plot of …

The denatured state ensemble (DSE) of unfolded proteins, once considered to be well-
modeled by an energetically featureless random coil, is now well-known to contain flickering …

G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+(GIRK) channels are essential effectors of inhibitory
neurotransmission in the brain. GIRK channels have been implicated in diseases with …
