Water solubility and structural stability are key merits for proteins defined by the primary
sequence and 3D-conformation. Their manipulation represents important aspects of the …

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), in most applications used as a “spectroscopic
ruler,” allows an easy determination of the donor-acceptor intermolecular distance …

Novel cationic antimicrobial peptides typified by structures such as
KKKKKKAAXAAWAAXAA-NH 2, where X= Phe/Trp, and several of their analogues display …

In membrane proteins, the extent to which polarity, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals
packing interactions of the buried, internal residues direct protein folding and association of …

Galectin-3, a member of the galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins, is widely
expressed, particularly in cells involved in the immune response. Galectin-3 has also been …

To examine whether excessive protein O-GlcNAcylation plays a role in the dysfunction of the
diabetic heart, we delivered adenovirus expressing O-GlcNAcase (Adv-GCA) into the …

This study deals with the results on the concentration-dependent fluorescence properties of
Tb3+-doped calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) glasses of composition (100− x)(58SiO2–23CaO …

The recently-discovered single-span transmembrane proteins endoregulin (ELN), dwarf
open reading frame (DWORF), myoregulin (MLN), and another-regulin (ALN) are reported to …

The final, structure-determining step in the folding of membrane proteins involves the
coalescence of preformed transmembrane helices to form the native tertiary structure. Here …

The interactions between riboflavin (RF) and human and bovine serum albumin (HSA and
BSA) were studied by using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods. Intrinsic …
