Helix‐capping motifs are specific patterns of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic
interactions found at or near the ends of helices in both proteins and peptides. In an α‐helix …

Motivation Understanding the molecular mechanisms of thermal stability is a challenge in
protein biology. Indeed, knowing the temperature at which proteins are stable has important …

Our understanding of the factors stabilizing α-helical structure has been greatly enhanced by
the study of model α-helical peptides. However, the relationship of these results to the …

Haloalkane dehalogenases have the potential for use in high‐value biocatalytic processes
to convert haloalkanes into epoxides via intermediate haloalcohols. Initial bioreactor studies …

During metaphase, in response to improper kinetochore‐microtubule attachments, the
spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) activates the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), an …

Amide hydrogen-deuterium exchange is a sensitive probe of the structure, stability and
dynamics of proteins. The significant increase in the number of small, model proteins that …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is a common mechanism pathogenic bacteria use to
link central metabolism with virulence factor synthesis. In gram-positive bacteria, catabolite …

The human estrogen receptor-α, a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a ligand-
regulated transcriptional modulator. Because comparatively little is known about the extreme …

The ability of ionic liquids (ILs) to solubilize cellulose has sparked interest in their use for
enzymatic biomass processing. However, this potential is yet to be realized, primarily …
