Fold-switch pathways remodel the secondary structure topology of proteins in response to the cellular environment. It is a major challenge to understand the dynamics of these folding processes. Here, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the α-helix-to-β-strand and β-strand-to-α-helix transitions

The 43 kDa subunit of the chloroplast signal recognition particle, cpSRP43, is an ATP-independent chaperone essential for the biogenesis of the light harvesting chlorophyll-binding proteins (LHCP), the most abundant membrane protein family on earth. cpSRP43 is activated by a stromal factor

Many biological functions of peptides are mediated through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Upon ligand binding, GPCRs undergo conformational changes that facilitate the binding and activation of multiple effectors. GPCRs regulate nearly all physiological processes and are a favorite pharmacological target.
