A survey of protein databases indicates that the majority of enzymes exist in oligomeric
forms, with about half of those found in the UniProt database being homodimeric …

Solvation and hydrophobicity play a key role in a variety of biological mechanisms. In
substrate binding, but also in structure-based drug design, the thermodynamic properties of …

Long‐range electrostatic forces play an important role in molecular biology, particularly in
macromolecular interactions. However, calculating the electrostatic forces for irregularly …

Electrostatic interactions are important for understanding molecular interactions, since they
are long-range interactions and can guide binding partners to their correct binding positions …

Some proteins are easily crystallized by utilizing ammonium sulfate (AS) as a precipitant,
while others are not. To investigate the difference of AS behavior in protein crystallization …

A new feature of the popular software DelPhi is developed and reported, allowing for
computing the surface averaged electrostatic potential (SAEP) of macromolecules. The user …

Serine proteases of the Chymotrypsin family are structurally very similar but have very
different substrate preferences. This study investigates a set of 9 different proteases of this …

Previous attempts to crystallize mammalian γS-crystallin were unsuccessful. Native L16
chicken γS crystallized avidly while the Q16 mutant did not. The X-ray structure for chicken …

ABSTRACT Ling zhi-8 (LZ-8) is the first fungal immunomodulatory protein (FIP) isolated from
the lingzhi or reishi medicinal mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum. LZ-8 effectively induces …

The begomovirus-caused chilli leaf curl disease (ChiLCD) is a significant hindrance to the
production of chilies (Capsicum annuum) in many chilli-growing regions worldwide …
