Proteins are natural polypeptides consisting of 20 major amino acid residues, content and
order of which in a given amino acid sequence defines the ability of a related protein to fold …

Background A mechanistic understanding of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and diligent
tracking of ongoing mutagenesis are of key importance to plan robust strategies for confining …

Large lipid transfer proteins are involved in lipid transportation and diverse other molecular
processes. These serum proteins include vitellogenins, which are egg yolk precursors and …

Phosphorylation of proteins plays an important regulatory role at almost all levels of cellular
organization. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a promising tool to reveal the …

Vitellogenin (Vg), a storage protein, has been extensively studied for its egg-yolk precursor
role, and it has been suggested to be fundamentally involved in caste differences in social …

Protection against inflammation and oxidative stress is key in slowing down aging
processes. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) shows flexible aging patterns linked to the social …

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda is a highly polyphagous invasive pest. The strong
reproductive capacity is an important factor in the rapid colonization and expansion of S …

Vitellogenin (Vg) has been implicated as a central protein in the immunity of egg‐laying
animals. Studies on a diverse set of species suggest that Vg supports health and longevity …

Phosphorylation plays a key role in plant biology, such as the accumulation of plant cells to
form the observed proteome. Statistical analysis found that many phosphorylation sites are …

Vitellogenin (Vg) is a conserved protein used by nearly all oviparous animals to produce
eggs. It is also pleiotropic and performs functions in oxidative stress resistance, immunity …
