Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen characterized by an innate
resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents. A major contribution to this intrinsic multidrug …

Integral membrane proteins come in two types, α-helical and β-barrel proteins. In both types,
all hydrogen bonding donors and acceptors of the polypeptide backbone are completely …

Advances in structure determination of membrane proteins enable analysis of the
propensities of amino acids in extramembrane versus transmembrane locations to be …

The β-barrel outer membrane proteins constitute one of the two known structural classes of
membrane proteins. Whereas there are several different web-based predictors for α-helical …

Integral proteins in the outer membrane of mitochondria control all aspects of organelle
biogenesis, being required for protein import, mitochondrial fission, and, in metazoans …

β-Barrel proteins are found in the outer membranes of bacteria, mitochondria and
chloroplasts. The presently known sizes range from small eight-stranded to large twenty-two …

Recent advances in large-scale sequencing has accelerated the identification of potential
genes. To find the function of these genes, the homology search technique has been …

The Yersinia pseudotuberculosis invasin protein promotes bacterial entry by binding to host
cell integrins with higher affinity than natural substrates such as fibronectin. The 2.3 …

Since high-resolution structural data are still scarce, different kinds of theoretical structure
prediction algorithms are of major importance in membrane protein biochemistry. But how …

In general, chemical problems are composed by complex systems. There are several chemi‐
-cal processes that can be described by different mathematical functions (linear, quadratic …
