Proteins are dynamic entities that undergo a plethora of conformational changes that may
take place on a wide range of time scales. These changes can be as small as the rotation of …

Starburst dendrimers are three‐dimensional, highly ordered oligomeric and polymeric
compounds formed by reiterative reaction sequences starting from smaller molecules …

The Pfam protein families database is a comprehensive collection of protein domains and
families used for genome annotation and protein structure and function analysis …

We have developed an automatic algorithm STRIDE for protein secondary structure
assignment from atomic coordinates based on the combined use of hydrogen bond energy …

Two cDNAs were isolated whose dimerized products bind specifically to a DNA sequence,
KEY, located in the immunoglobulin kappa chain enhancer. Both cDNAs share a region of …

Infrared spectroscopy (IR) has played a pioneering role in studying the conformations of
peptides, polypeptides and proteins [l]. The advent of stable and powerful lasers led to the …

The cycloidea (cyc) and teosinte branched 1 (tb1) genes code for structurally related
proteins implicated in the evolution of key morphological traits. However, the biochemical …

In most general terms, polymers and their supramolecular assemblies have been defining
life on this planet since its conception. Polymers of nucleic acids carry the code of life and …

The crystal structure of a soluble, catalytically active form of adenylyl cyclase in a complex
with its stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein α subunit (Gs α) and forskolin was determined to …

Two algorithms for the efficient identification of segment neighborhoods are presented. A
segment neighborhood is a set of contiguous residues that share common features. Two …
