Membrane proteins are attractive therapeutic targets, however the presence of detergents complicates biophysical binding measurements. Difficulties in determining quantitative dissociation constants for problematic membrane proteins were addressed by combining analytical ultracentrifugation and classical light scattering techniques. Validation of the algorithm
About two million new cases of leishmaniasis with 50 000 associated deaths occur worldwide each year. Promastigotes of the causative Leishmania spp. develop from the procyclic stage to the highly virulent metacyclic stage within the sand fly vector. We hypothesized

Density functional theory calculations on two glycosides, namely, n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (C(8)O-β-Glc) and n-octyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (C(8)O-β-Gal) were performed for geometry optimization at the B3LYP/6-31G level. Both molecules are stereoisomers (epimers) differing only in the orientation of the hydroxyl group at the C4 position.

The photochemical and thermal stability of the detergent-solubilized blue- and green-absorbing proteorhodpsins, BPR and GPR, respectively, are investigated to determine the viability of these proteins for photonic device applications. Photochemical stability is studied by using pulsed laser excitation and differential
The ATP synthase of the alkaliphile Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4 has a tridecameric c-subunit rotor ring. Each c-subunit has an AxAxAxA motif near the center of the inner helix, where neutralophilic bacteria generally have a GxGxGxG motif. Here, we studied the
