RIC‐3 is a transmembrane protein which acts as a molecular chaperone of nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). For some nAChR subtypes (such as homomeric α7 …

Background Alpha-helical transmembrane (TM) proteins are involved in a wide range of
important biological processes such as cell signaling, transport of membrane-impermeable …

Motivation: Many important biological processes such as cell signaling, transport of
membrane-impermeable molecules, cell–cell communication, cell recognition and cell …

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have been successfully applied to the tasks of
transmembrane protein topology prediction and signal peptide prediction. In this paper we …

Recent comparative genomic and experimental analyses pointed to the similarity of BioMN …

Formation of the Escherichia coli division septum is catalyzed by a number of essential
proteins (named Fts) that assemble into a ring-like structure at the future division site. Many …

The work describes a discovery of new chemical family of potent ligands for the 5-HT 6
serotonin receptors. During the search for new histamine H 4 receptor antagonists among 1 …

Homology modeling is a reliable method of predicting the three-dimensional structures of
proteins that lack NMR or X-ray crystallographic data. It employs the assumption that a …
